An Applied Econ professor at Johns Hopkins really created a stir with a paper published in the JHU newsletter - her data shows that the overall death rate has not statistically moved pre-COVID to now. Her premise was many of the COVID deaths are being misdiagnosed/listed, but naturally, it was glommed onto by a number of media sources including many on the right that used it to point to the futility of lockdowns and such.
JHU then pulled the paper, but it's been captured. If interested, it's here: https://web.archive.org/web/20201126...ue-to-covid-19
