If other coronaviruses gave significant immunity to this one, wouldn't we have had sufficient prior immunity to the initial Wuhan strain to substantially contain infections in the first place?
Assuming that when you say the "flu season peak" you mean after the the beginning of November 2020, then no. Cumulative death rate per 100,000 in the rest of England had caught up with London's by early November, and is still higher.
According to ONS data, cumulative deaths per 100000 haven't been higher in London than the rest of England since early November. How does that fit with your theories?
I have only seen what you have posted and what others have said in response. Please post a link to the article, or failing that mention who the author is, and the data and source that they quoted in the article.
I have posted it before. As it turns out you, can't open spreadsheet files, I...
So you're going to rely some figures quoted in an opinion piece some weeks ago, that presumably didn't reference the source of the data, and ignore any new information that comes along that says something different.

Ah Mike Yeadon - a bit more difficult to follow on social media these days.
I read the other day that his twitter account had been deleted after it was noticed there were a load of vitriolic racist comments on it from prior to the coronavirus episode. He is alleged to be claiming it's all a...
No, I'm pointing out an example of a country that locked down and suffered less economic damage than one in the same region that didn't. There are other examples too.
There is more to this than "Sweden good, everywhere else bad" which seems to be your view.
Norway locked down, had a lower death rate that UK and Sweden, and a GDP reduction of 0.8% for 2020 compared to 2019.
Which implies that there is not a linear causal relationship between suppression measures and economic damage, so it is not reasonable from to infer from the data you referenced...
