I don't know exactly what proof you need regarding the healthy people being affected by COVID, but here are some links to a few stories. If this is insufficient, let me know, and I can dig something up more in line with what you're looking for!

You're correct in that deaths continue to rise, but the rate at which they rise has increased for the year of 2020. It's easier to illustrate when you use more significant figures:
2015: 2,712,630
2016: 2,744,248, +31,618
2017: 2,813,503, +69,255
2018 2,839,205, +25,702
2019: 2,858,838, +15,633
For 2020 we'll use the low estimate (completing the weeks deaths using the low 40K deaths per week figure, per your data set). We'd be silly to use the mark of 2.6 (or, 2,672,741 deaths) because that doesn't account for 8 more weeks of body counts. To illustrate my point, we use this total number through Nov 1 (2,672,741), plus 40K deaths per week for the remaining weeks, which would be the lowest count from ANY other week in 2020 in your dataset. Grand total:
2020: 2,992,741, +133,903
Therefore, something that we can consider best case scenario, the death rate jumps significantly. But again, this is using guessed data, since the real reports are not out yet. More than likely, the final total will be well north of 3 million. Whether that hits 3.2 we can't say yet, but in your dataset, 500,000 deaths in a 2 month period has already occurred this year, so it's not out of the question that it happens again in these remaining months
As for "data manipulation," like I said, data gets adjusted as new data comes in. If you take the wayback machine from any given date, and then again from a few months prior, you will see similar adjustments get made. New reports can be filed late. It's never going to be perfect each week, which is why things need to adjust.
