You're right about the totals being delayed. I made the mistake of bringing up the stats and wound up arguing someone claiming that deaths increased 20%. So, I found the CDC raw data. Had 5 years of flu and pneumonia deaths and covid deaths for 2020. The thing is, it was actually on a rate to be about 5% loser than average until November. So, I analyzed the data a little bit and what do you know, at November in the raw data the numbers no longer add to the totals but 20% above totals. The normie could not explain the discrepancy either.
