From your own link:
"The failings contributed to the worst flu season for seven years, with 15,000 deaths from the virus, around twice the average figure, and the worst NHS performance on record."
So my calculation shows cov2 is about twice as bad as a strong flu, with no preventative measures. If we hit the 20k or less with preventative measures that the Imperial model predicts, this will be on par with regular flu season.
At any rate, much less than the 200k+ deaths originally predicted by the Imperial model and that pushed the UK to lockdown.
