But excess mortality is a hard and clear number: Excess mortality caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) | RIVM
Yes, I read it. It's just another country's interpretation for publicly released statistics.
In nowhere does it mention about the pre-morbidity of the cases of excess mortality... theoretically meaning that even a nasty strain of influenza could of caused the same number of excess mortality, even if covid-19 wasn't around
To pick statistics of a highly respected country such as the Netherlands, is still not putting into context the true danger of covid-19 as opposed to other viruses that would of caused the same amount of death to people who already had pre-morbidities
