I've read that early in the pandemic, anyone that tested positive for CoVid-19 when they died was added to the CoVid-19 death toll, even though the disease might not have been the cause. Hard to justify doing that in cases of accidental drowning, auto accidents, and such, but there it is. I think I heard on last night's news that the daily death rate nationwide is in the thousands, and with three weeks left in 2020, this years total count could still exceed previous years.
The current death toll in the US is 282,436 as of this post, per the John Hopkins COVID dashboard:
