Belgium is counting differently to most countries

Belgian officials say they are counting in a way that no other country in the world is currently doing: counting deaths in hospitals and care homes, but including deaths in care homes that are suspected, not confirmed, as Covid-19 cases”

Compared to some other countries that have only been counting confirmed cases and still
others that were not counting deaths in aged care.

Probably still too early to be reliable, but the ‘excess deaths / funerals’ is probably going to be the most reliable indicator of how countries / states have fared.
