I'm unsure why you have referred to these articles as neither deal with the points I raised which indicated:Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
1. that it was too early to compare death rates with other countries due to the way statistics are collected An ONS report indicated the following:
"Given the widely differing practices between countries in recording and reporting deaths relating to COVID-19 it is not possible at this time to conduct accurate international comparisons of deaths involving COVID-19 specifically."
(I gather the above means that some countries record deaths as pneumonia which is a consequence of COVID but the UK record deaths as pneumonia associated with COVID) and ;
2. the fact the UK has a higher roll out rate of the vaccine meaning our figures are likely to be lower statistically over a longer period.
All this will come out in the wash when the inevitable inquiry takes place.
