I mean, it's literally lower prices which means lower CPI. You can make an academic debate over whether that's technically disinflation, but the BLS report is going to post a lower number.

No, it means lower prices on the limited number of goods which were oversupplied that nobody wants right now. It doesn't mean lower prices on the stuff everyone is still buying like food and gas.
