Any graphic that uses "coronavirus deaths" is suspect by definition, because: (a) every country counts these differently, (b) even the same country may record them differently at different time, and (c) there will be unpredictable mistaken records both ways.

What will work is comparison of actual death tolls per month for this year compared to past years (let's say, include at least one recent year with high flu mortality, at least 1 recent year with low flu mortality, and at least 1 year with median death rates for the decade). Whatever effects would be there, would by definition include all coronavirus effects.
