Hamwich .... you seem well on top of this, so a genuine query .... there was a suggestion going about that there had been lower than expected deaths in recent years, possibly due to milder flu seasons, that had left a pool of (brutaly speaking) people who hadn't died yet, who, through being very succeptible to covid, boosted the death figures for 2020 .... can you see any plausible evidence for this?
Deaths do seem to be coming down (hard to judge day on day due to reporting stutters) .... so hopefully we can soon see a sharp drop in deaths as those older people making up most of the fatalities gain protection from their vaccinations. We can but hope.
