Excess mortality in the UK from the ONS. Last winter doesn't look that bad when you look at it this way. Some ~15,000 more excess winter deaths than the 2017 - 2018 flu?

Also interesting that the years before the 1957 and 1968 flu pandemics had such a noticeable dip in mortality, same as 2018 - 2019.
