The early estimate released from the NHTSA: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813561 in April has the total deaths at 40,990. Which is enough above the threshold that I'll resolve Yes. As the full estimate may take another few months.
@WieDan yeah, it takes a while for the statistics to be compiled, so the vox prediction is about the 2023 statistics.
