The worldometer figures are so confusing. Countries like India, Brazil, USA all have higher case numbers than us in the UK but the amount of deaths in comparison to cases is so much lower. Why is that? Surely it cant be down to our health care system as that is far from poor?
I know the UK deaths shown are deaths in settings not just hospital and also anyone who has died with a positive test is counted in the way we record the deaths. There will be a number of cases of deaths that would have happened anyway regardless of Coronavirus who happened to be positive at time of death.
