As I said, and you are careful to ignore, the average number of deaths currently is less this year.
So your point is…?

Important point - it’s less than the five year average. It still higher than the same time before COVID two years ago.
The number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending 25 February 2022 (Week 8) was 11,150 - the figure for the 22nd February 2020 was 10,841
Also, the last two of the five years had higher than average death rates (due to COVID), this increases the current five year average -
Example
2015 - 100
2016 - 100
2017 - 100
2018 - 100
2019 - 100
5 year average - 100
2019 - 100
2018 - 100
2019 - 100
2020 - 120
2021 - 125
5 year average - 109
2018 - 100
2019 - 100
2020 - 120
2021 - 125
2022 - 110
5 year average - 111
So, our current five year average is still higher than before COVID.
