Is the media more interested in criticizing than reporting?

[tell it like it is]

But the discrepancy ion the infaction figures may lead people to also question the number of deaths, as in their being recorded as other things and not the virus, whereas in UK if the virus is present at death, or suspoected to be present, then the death is recorded, even in the person had heart failure.
i'm not saying either way is right or wrong but its like comparing apples with oranges.

Exactly. There's no worldwide standardised methodology enabling an easy comparison. Somebody at mum's care home been in and out of hospital with heart attacks last few years - had another, taken into hospital, died of another heart attack. Found to have contracted covid-19 in hospital, as care home have informed people. If so, would she count as a covid-19 death despite that being a questionable cause of death?
