Scroll down to the graph that says, Weekly number of deaths (from all causes). That goes back to 2017 so you can compare this year to previous years.

About how the number of young adults (20-40 or so, I guess) who died this year is up something like 65%.

I can’t remember exactly, but it was a huge number.
