Can you clarify if these excess deaths are designated as deaths from or with covid, or by other reasons, as not clear to me? If not covid, what is recorded?
I added a third source to the references (a second daily excess death graph) to help answer that, Markker. The Economist puts out that second type of graph which includes the government's claims about the COVID deaths -- so you can compare their claims to the total excess.
I agree that finer details most often make for better analysis. But I retort that there is some residual merit at both levels of magnification, zoomed out and zoomed in. The precision on the constant, 15-week lag time in excess death after those varying uptake rates of the first booster shot is uncanny.

Thanks.
You need to do analysis at the county level IMO
Makes little sense to clump the US together
Obscures much
