The problem with comparing Belgium is that, by their own admission, they may be inflating numbers where other countries are deflating numbers. Belgium considered anyone that died with something that might be COVID-19, that death is in their stats. Meanwhile, other countries are saying anyone who has not been positively tested as having died with COVID-19 in their system did not die from the pandemic. But tests are fallible, and many people die of the after effects of COVID-19, after the virus has ravaged them but been dealt with. The true measure is going to be the death rate compared to the previous ten years. And even that has to be considered by numerous conflating variables.
