And of course the transfer of diseases was lessened in 2020 , so even with the highly contagious covid, was there less over all deaths from infectious diseases in the US from 2020 than other years? easily could be what we find out when the numbers are all tallied. I think the jury is still out on if death rate was unusually high during 2020 in the US compared to previous years discounting war deaths.

Yes, the jury is still out but the preliminary numbers suggest you are incorrect.

"business were shut down and the related work place accidents were lessened."
Construction, manufacturing and essential work, the really dangerous jobs, carried on as usual for the most part. Healthcare became a life threatening profession for many. I doubt you will see a great reduction in work related deaths.
