The example chart shows the total deaths for each year. Waves within a single year are irrelevant.

2015-2019 all had fewer deaths than 2020, at an increasing rate, like in the example chart. If you average the increasing years, of course they will have a lower average than the final year.

I don’t really know how to make it simpler than that

No, it shows average and RANGE. If total deaths for 2020 were higher because overall deaths are increasing anyway, it would be higher for all months, not just the months where the virus spiked.

Ironically, the virus spikes during flu season, which is exactly when it would spike anyway

Unironically, the death numbers have never even come close to 2020 during the flu season.

You understand what ‘the range’ part means right?
