@nygal It is unlikely that is due to that being anywhere near the actual number in 2020. typically you dont get the complete numbers for a year, when compiled by most agencies, until sometime after the year is complete. Most sources are going to report partial figures that arent useful.

Its the same thing with the nonsense you hear about the death count going down in 2020, which isnt true. You just need to use different sources for historic data than you do real-time data and is very common with data sets.
