UK changing how we count Covid-19 deaths, deviating from all European countries

- asking for family consent (shouldn't be necessary for basic data like numbers)
- not counting deaths which occur outside of hospitals
- not doing Covid 19 tests in post-mortems

Question - why? https://t.co/KJNGxVuyt7

uk numbers have always been highly suspicious. As I was planning a London visit in the near future (cancelled), I've been comparing Switzerland's numbers with the uk and it hasn't added up ever. Far fewer total of positive cases but three times the number of deaths (UK: "We have the best health system in the world"?)
