Mind, the increase in deaths in Europe is almost entirely in Russia with the remainder being dumps of backlog deaths in Romania.

Things look okay now, for the UK.
But the fact of the matter is they have counted ~128,200 deaths due to covid, and the real number is over 150k 
(they did some number magic, to have it reduced to 128k. Ei. they dont count the same way other places in the world does).

They have one of the highest deaths pr population stats of any country in the EU.

Also, why is European Union over 2,3k deaths for July 2nd?

If you go to worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and hit "europe" it shows only 962 deaths (for july 2nd).
(and this is with Russia owning ~680 of them)

Like how reliable is that chart? more so than worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ?

Edit:

Nvm. its a weekly avg?
Still nvms seem higher for eu than I'd assume it was.

It's 7-day-cumulative, not 7-day-average.

Average would be ~286 deaths a day when looking at the past 7 days.
