Please remember that, adjusted for 'age structure', 2020 in the saw FEWER deaths in the UK than every year before 2009

To repeat myself, once you take into account the fact that the British population is getting older and standardise the figures by age, 2020 in the United Kingdom saw FEWER deaths than 2008 and every year prior to it.

I suspect the figures for other rich countries are similar, but I do not know how to check this.

I do know that Sweden saw a lower increase in deaths during 2020 than most of Europe, despite not having a lockdown. The figures for Iceland of course tell the same story, as do what seem to be the real figures for Belarus, as opposed to the government's lies.
