Belgien räknar alla som döda i Covid19.
"Belgian Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes had to explain why that was the case on Wednesday (15 April), and said the government “made the choice of full transparency when communicating deaths linked to COVID-19,” even if it resulted in “numbers that are sometimes overestimated.”
Most official tallies probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections, because many countries are testing only the most serious cases.
Unlike some countries, Belgium takes fully into account the dramatic situation in retirement homes.
In the country’s more than 1,500 such facilities, the numbers include deaths that are considered linked to the coronavirus even if it has not been proven by tests, a choice not taken by many others.
“In Europe, no country counts like the others. We have the most detailed method,” Health Minister Maggie De Block told the television news channel LN24.".

Sverige på andra sidan fuskar med att räkna alla som har blivit testade på sjukhusen.
Sådan fult jävla spel i Sverige.
"Sweden gets this data because its system of social security numbers (personnummer) means that all deaths are registered in a centralised system. Then the Public Health Agency can check with regions (in Sweden it's the individual regions which are responsible for healthcare) which of these deaths were people with the coronavirus -- of course, this is only possible if the deceased people were tested for the virus"."
