I would hope that frequent statements that the death toll reported is underestimated will help get mpre people taking this seriously and realuzing just how dire this "little flu" really is.Seriously, even if is inaccurate by 10 points going either way, what practical difference would it make to most of us? 80,000 to 110,000 deaths is still quite concerning.

For the first few weeks of the outbreak the UK government were ignoring the CV19 associated deaths at home and in care homes because doctors could not visit the deceased to issue a death certificate. Only hospital deaths were counted.
I also understand that many deaths are attributed to underlying causes such as lung conditions aggrivated by CV19. Most of these deaths are among people who would have had long, active lives without CV19 but are listed as dying from their existing illness, not coronavirus.
Yep. In the UK at least, the figures we have for coronavirus deaths very much represent the lowest estimate.
To some extent the death toll for coronavirus is always going to be a rough estimate. When we're talking about tens of thousands of deaths, it's inevitable that at least some mistakes will be made. However, this doesn't diminish the significance of the pandemic and those inaccuracies are far more likely to skew the figures more towards the lower end at any rate.
Except for England and Sweden the excess mortality is pretty low all over Europe.In france at least 9000 care home deaths from CV19 have not been included in the official death count. In several other European countries it is the same story. I have no reason to believe the rest of the world is any different.
Look...... If you all want to dismiss this illness and carry on as before ...... Good luck with that.Seems that their may be some reporting issues with the number of deaths caused by Covid-19
