World can’t agree on how to count COVID-19 deaths, muddying toll

https://www.timesofisrael.com/world-cant-agree-on-how-to-count-covid-19-deaths-muddying-toll/


Some countries list only those who die in hospitals, others include victims suspected of carrying the virus who were never tested

 

In the United States, which has the highest death toll in the world at more than 50,000, the counting method varies from one state to another: while New York counts deaths in care homes, California does not.
In the United States, there are an increasing number of complaints from people whose relatives have died, officially of pneumonia, before COVID-19 tests became available.
