It does, yes. We measure the number of deaths caused by coronavirus as anyone who dies within 28 days of a Covid test. Which other countries do that?

We record all deaths from Covid, others do not.

And so on. If we are going to compare our figures with those of other countries, it must be on a like-for-like basis otherwise they are practically worthless.
