First of all, this is based on a model - We know how well models work by now!
Secondly, they've configured their model, so that from the day the vaccines were available, all factors in their model remain the same. Here I infer, that mainly they are referring to CFR.

> Year to date: In absolute terms, similar like last year, but higher than 2020.

Reminder full years:
Here it depends how we define the baseline. If defined with a downtrend (lin.reg.) as WHO/Euromomo does it, we get +5.7% excess in 2021.
Timeline: Last week stands out with +10.4% excess!
