The individual claiming this 40% nonsense is not being truthful.
It's a clear case of saying two different things.
The death RATE - that is, the number of deaths per 100,000 people is up 40%. Death rate runs around 870, so an increase of 40% brings it up to, say, 1200. Or so.

If the number of deaths increased by 40%, it would be horrendous! About 3.5M people die in the US each year. An increase of 40% would mean 4.7M people died.
FWIW, about 3.7M Americans are born each year.
