Yes, assuming no second wave I would expect there to be fewer deaths than the long term average later in the year. Not only because of sick and elderly people who have died earlier in the year as part of the pandemic, but also, on a more cheerful note, because of the cleaner air and also perhaps because more people have been walking, jogging and cycling.
One positive aspect could be that more people decide to ditch public transport and cycle to work etc. Obviously that isn't possible for everyone, but it is something that local councils are taking seriously, for example by installing temporary cycle lanes etc to encourage more people to avoid public transport.
