You are correct that official coronavirus deaths are low. But official influenza deaths (blue diamonds) were almost double their baseline value (green line) and above a threshold value (purple line, but I don't know enough Japanese to know what threshold) back in week 8 of this year (late Feb, early March, depending on how you count it.)

I wonder if there are other, non-coronavirus causes of death that are significantly above their normal values?
