The death rate from 2019 to 2020 increased by 15.9%. Early data showed that the top 10 causes of death were:
1. Heart Disease
2. Cancer
3. Covid-19
4. Unintentional Injuries
5. Stroke
6. Chronic Respiratory
Disease 7. Alzheimer's Disease

Researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics analyzed death certificate data from the National Statistics System, taking a closer look at the deaths of U.S. residents between January and December 2020.
"COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in 2020, replacing suicide as one of the top 10 causes," the researchers wrote in the report. Suicide was previously the 10th leading cause of death, but crashed out of the list for 2020 as deaths due to Covid-19 increased.
The data is still provisional - so exact figures and death rates may change when additional information is obtained.
