On top of the fact that flu is randomly pernicious depending on the year. Case in point - one reason Sweden had a lot of early covid senior deaths was because, for whatever reason, they're 2019 flu season was quite mild, and thus didn't cull the weakest seniors like normal. However, in Denmark, it was the opposite.
