Very interesting that official flu deaths over the winter of 18/19 were so low, 1692. That created a pending pool of even older, more immunocompromised patients over the winter 19/20 period.......1st wave Covid territory.
Add those ‘delayed deaths’ of 15000 approx. to the average flu season deaths of 17000 and you get 32000 which isn’t too far away from
the total Spring 2020 Covid figure.
