There's a much narrower range in reporting rate variation for deaths than for infection->test results, but (a) it lags considerably, and (b) there are many other things that conflate this data as well, including healthcare systems getting better at preventing Covid-19 deaths over time (learning from earlier cases, hopefully starting to see positive results from remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine). I am still comfortable with what I said elsethread, the best way to get your head around doubling time is to look at data from countries with very good test coverage, such as South Korea.
