This is correct. Most other countries are undercounting Covid-19 deaths significantly because they are only counting confirmed cases.
The problem becomes obvious when the total death numbers for the last few months are compared to the historical average.
See for example this NYT analysis, which shows that Belgium's numbers line up with the actual increase in death rate, not the more-or-less made up numbers from most other countries: https://www.nytimes.com./interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronavirus-missing-deaths.html https://www.nytimes.com./interactive/2020/04/21/world/corona...
