Not sure why I can’t reply to the person who replied to you - “timr” who is asking for data, but there is data here: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

Not one of those graphs contains annotations on lockdowns, so not one of them provides evidence for the claims you're making.

Nobody is disputing that excess deaths are happening, the question is why they're happening.

Cut/paste from the other reply

Again, not sure why I can’t reply directly to timr, but the data in the graphs on EuroMOMO is not spelled out, it’s just data. That’s no reason to dismiss it?

You can start by asking questions like- why do some neighbouring countries have different profiles? Why do some not have any excess mortality? Why do some have multiple spikes?
