Original Note:
This isn't a fair comparison, the UK recorded any death that occurred within 28 days of a positive test as a COVID death. This is different the countries listed, which only attributes death that are directly linked to the virus after medical investigation. https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/international-guidelines-for-certification-and-classification-(coding)-of-covid-19-as-cause-of-death https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-those-involved-in-managing-covid-19-deaths/guidance-for-those-involved-in-managing-covid-19-deaths
