I like the way Lasse unpicks a lot of information from the ONS by presentation. Anyone having a brain-fart about this being 'another flu' eat your hat, especially the Wittkowski-types. Wood for the trees etc.
Meanwhile, scary to think that one is also subjected to being a part of this statistic. The comforting thought, if there is such a thing, is that we shall have time to fill in the bits of this puzzle over time, i.e. what has just happened, by estimating other causes e.g. lockdown effect.
