Euromomo shows data back to 2016, so you can see how 2020 compares to a bad flu year (2017) and a "good" flu year (2019):

In some countries the excess deaths are higher that during a worst flew year in the last 5 years.

But also, since the virus is growing exponentially, differences in countries is by 10-100x, while the differences in the number of tests performed seems to be closer to 2-10x.
