> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released updated official mortality data that showed 45,222 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2020 — a new peak.

Wonder how this has changed since the lockdown. I bet its wildly different, probably a lot more is my guess.

The authors of the letter seem open to that, as well as for drug/poisoning cases. But on the other hand, the traffic related deaths seem unperturbed, which makes me wonder if we overrate how much “lockdown” actually happened.
