https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/data/Pages/monthly-dashboard.asp... has a dashboard with the NTSB's aviation data. It lists 8 fatal accidents so far this year.

Somebody could probably answer that using data from FAA, NTSB, NHTSA or whatever, but it's probably all offline right now. :-(

EDIT:

FWIW, the NTSB incident search site still seems to be up.

According to NTSB 210 in 2021. So a few times a week.
