The excess mortality rates don't lie:

You don't know what's causing the deaths. Maybe it's lockdown/fear: we know that fewer people are seeking medical treatment for non covid related issues, fewer organ transplants are happening, fewer cancer screenings occuring, etc.

The excess mortality rates definitely lie, unless you believe that the coronavirus is bringing dead people back to life in Finland.

-10% means that the death rate is 10% less than normal. 90 people dead instead of 100. Not that 10 people are no longer dead.
