It's a given that Covid, the virus, is not causing more deaths. It's not a serious virus. But I would expect the deaths to be up due to the lockdowns. However, it may be that there are countervailing influences involved that keep the numbers more or less the same -- that is, the lockdowns may cause more suicides and deaths due to domestic violence, alcohol and drugs, but they may reduce the deaths due to car crashes and other accidents, and work-related deaths (because people aren't working).
