[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2283284"] Coincidentally, my understanding is that the reverse is true of the peak in deaths earlier in the year. That is to say that, pre-COVID, average deaths were lower than usual due to a mild flu season. This then left more ‘low hanging fruit’ to be seriously affected by the next virus. In this case CV19. If I have understood the data analysis correctly, this means that the coronavirus death rate was boosted over and above what may have been the case had the prior flu season been more typical.
