2020 was still very much in the projection stage, the numbers got adjusted constantly until a good representation was agreed upon.
For example, one of the first “Covid-deaths” in my area was an 87 year-old man on palliative care for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died, they ran a post-mortem covid test on him, it came back positive. Later on, he got removed from covid death statistics as it was probably not covid that killed him.
This must be old, we were almost at 1.6m deaths by the end of 2020. Over 5 million by the end of 2021. Thanks God.
To be fair, most of them were Republicans. God works in mysterious ways.
Well, by the end of 2021 there were a little under 800k deaths (edit: in the US), so the vast majority were not from the US, let alone Republican.
1.6M by the end of 2020, but also 800k by the end of 2021.
Maybe God did some work after all?

Sorry I didn’t make it clear. 800k is US only, other figures (including OP) are worldwide.
I wonder if that will make a noticeable impact on the 2024 election?
