#7 Retired U.K. pathology professor John Lee notes (The Spectator, March 27 article) the distortion of our understanding due to inconsistent death certification practices.

He says we have flipped from under-recording flu as a cause of death in past years to over-recording COVID-19 as the single cause of death.

This inconsistency in the way we record deaths screws up our understanding of just how lethal this infection actually is.

And it's very likely that different nations today are applying different methods in the way they record deaths where COVID-19 antibodies were present. This could be a large part of the explanation for the extraordinary disparities in the recorded death rates between near neighbor nations in Europe, for example.
