Deaths in the US increased by 30% in 2020, with 572,000 more Americans dying than projected. Coronavirus was the leading cause of death in spring and winter 2020, overtaking the usual top causes of cancer and heart disease. COVID-19 deaths decreased by summer 2021 to the point where they did not impact the US death rate. However, the CDC has not released the complete cause of death data for August and September, meaning excess deaths from the Delta variant cannot yet be determined.
