Deaths triggered by Covid vs. Flu - this time for Germany
As elswhere covid dwarfed flu at the height of the pandemic
However, covid and flu death levels are more comparable this season

Comments
- excess deaths
- in weeks with high flu prevalence
- vs a MOMO like level of expected deaths (which is my estimate / Germany does not have a national MOMO-style mortality monitoring)
One major reason is that I follow the UKHSA approach (ie any deaths beyond expected by a MOMO approach)
RKI only takes those deaths that are in excess of expected + 1z score
