Euro Momo has also been updated for Week 35. Europe has been post-Covid for 16 weeks; despite a two month rise in "cases", there has been no measurable impact on mortality:
One thing to remember about "excess" mortality is that there are reported "excess" deaths every Winter. For comparison, 2018 had 122K excess deaths while 2020 has had 207K (and falling).
In other words, the true excess deaths in Europe this year, compared to 2018, is only 85K - which means there are 2 extra deaths this year for every 10,000 people in Europe.
and that may still be overstating the impact - a normal flu season starts in Week 40. Comparing this year's Covid season to the 2017/2018 flu season shows only about 40K "extra" deaths in Europe, or a rate of 1 in 10,000.
Unfortunately for the USA, while Europe had one big "wave", the US has seen two smaller waves (northern Spring and southern Summer) - and, with Europe still mitigating 16 weeks later, the USA is not likely to get back to normal this year.
