Even deaths is ‘hard’ - attribution in at least some cases will be unclear. But when everyone is talking about C19 you aren’t going to get a medal for marking it up as ‘it’s complicated’
Conversely, Japan for example could be lying about what is killing their 80 year olds - many of which will die this year, as in any year.
Or they could have their shit sorted.
Who knows?

Both deaths and reported cases, or just reported cases? Deaths seem likely to be a more accurate measure, but again relies on testing.
