Different countries have different methods of counting. In Belgium, suspected cases in care homes are included in the figures, without any testing being done (https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/22/analysis-can-we-trust-belgium-s-covid-19-death-statistics https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/22/analysis-can-we-trust-be...), so the official figures are an overestimate. In the UK, there are two different figures published. The headline figure is for confirmed deaths (i.e. with COVID-19 being listed as the cause of death on death certificates), but the Office of National Statistics less frequently publishes excess deaths (i.e. compared to previous years). The Belgian per capita suspected death count, which is probably similar to its excess death count, does exceed the UK confirmed death count but is well below the UK excess death count. The per capita figure in https://multimedia.tijd.be/oversterfte/ https://multimedia.tijd.be/oversterfte/ for VK (United Kingdom) is for confirmed deaths (62.2 per 100,000). In mid June, the total figure was at 42,000, while excess deaths totalled 65,000, so that would make UK excess deaths 96.3 per 100,000, significantly higher than the Belgian suspected figure of 84.4 per 100,000.
