They have started looking at excess deaths, detailed here https://www.ft.com/content/6bd88b7d-3386-4543-b2e9-0d5c6fac846c UK not the worst in under-reporting

I saw that page too, but the numbers left me mostly confused. For example, they say "In all the countries analysed except Denmark, excess deaths far outnumbered the official coronavirus death tolls" - but then looking at the UK, they show 15.6k excess deaths for England and Wales (compared to historic averages), while officially reported Coronavirus deaths for England and Wales are at 19.2k according to this. I'm probably missing something here - I don't quite get it.

Do you have a link to that? I think their 'tracker' still just has the official figures, no? Also, I think the same issues with the official reporting also apply to a lot of other countries, so it's hard to compare any 'real' figures still.
