This is empirically false. It's at least 25% worse than the 2018 flu season, which was the worst flu season in decades, and that's with unprecedented mitigation

This is empirically false. It's at least 25% worse than the 2018 flu season, which was the worst flu season in decades, and that's with unprecedented mitigation measures in place. https://www.rivm.nl/monitoring-sterftecijfers-nederland https://www.rivm.nl/monitoring-sterftecijfers-nederland

The peak in the graph is higher but the area under the graph, the total number of fatalities, is almost the same because the flu season lasted longer. > De oversterfte in week 10 tot en met 19 van de COVID-19 epidemie was 9.768 > De oversterfte tijdens de 18 weken griepepidemie werd geschat op 9.444 Anyway definitely not 25% worse.
