A seven-year mortality analysis of England and the story of how the UK govt turned an ordinary "flu" into the worst medical and political catastrophe in history.
Every year there is excess seasonal mortality. It is attributed to the dominant flu strain. In 2014-15, "A(H3N2)" accounted for 43k deaths. In 2017-18, with "B", it accounted for 57k. 
After a particularly soft 2018-19, in Feb-20, a novel virus - SARS-CoV-2 - emerged in the virome. The disease, COVID-19, unaffected by interventions which came too late in addition to being completely ineffective, accounted for 37k deaths, less than "A(H3N2)" 6 years before.
