• "Excess deaths refers to the number of deaths in this week minus average number of deaths in England and Wales for the corresponding week in the previous five years." This means we now use a reference of two years of COVID-19, plus 3 without it. Not a very useful metric.

• As a hypothetical example, if in 2017-2019 we have excess deaths Xx3 and then in 2020 it was X+1000 and in 2021 X+2000, then now X+600 is considered absolutely "normal"...
