COVID-19 deaths impossible to calculate in UK as authorities used 14 different definitions

The number of people who have died from COVID-19 in Britain during the pandemic is impossible to determine because of the inconsistent definitions of what is meant by a COVID-19 death, Oxford University researchers have concluded. Freedom of Information (FOI) requests show that many people who died in the first wave NEVER tested positive for the virus, particularly older people who died in care homes. [1]

In March 2020 the US and Australia allowed “assumed” COVID-19 deaths to be labelled on Death Certificates, maybe the UK allowed the same!
