Countries will have different methods for counting covid deaths. It doesn't mean the conspiracy theorists are right that doctors and coroners are falsifying death certificates in their tens of thousands to cover up why someone really died. 20% of 'deaths with covid' are outside the 28-day cutoff and aren't added to the headline figure. Deaths are not being overcounted.
