4/3 US-Italy charts and other issues:

The UK also seems test limited but their death count keeps going up.

France started counting people outside hospitals a few days ago.

Also note that the UK isnt counting everyone who dies. They're only counting people who die in the hospitals and are given permission to be counted by family. 

Yeah UK is only saying those "confirmed cases" (tested before death) have been counted.
Ontop of that, only those in hospitals "count" , ei. we know this was "due to covid19".

Other places in the UK, they probably just noticed a person pass away and put it down as "pneumonia" or something else.
Also keeping tract of infection numbers, and deaths, is a full time job, so they appearntly dont count "all the time".  Think of it like the guy keeping track, only does so from 9 to 5, after that, its not counted.

Also they appearently need "family permissions" to be given now, before they count them.
Basically UK numbers are crappy, you cant use them for anything.
