All other countries around the world are seeing 10% to 40% excess deaths… and those are huge anomalies from the norm. So I’m going to call 3000% bogus without some serious data.
To put this in perspective, 2.8 million U.S. Citizens die each year, about 0.8% of the populations. A 3000% increase would mean 24% of the population died in a single year. That would be 84 million people, or about one out of every 4 humans.
You could have a 3000% increase if the base year number was very very small. Stats should focus on the percentage of excess deaths each year vs. total deaths, not the increase or decrease between years.

So, no. Clickbait headline.

That’s not how percentages work. Typically 0.8% of your population dies. 3000% is 30x so 24% of your population dies. That’s clearly not happening.
