U.K., population 68 million, COVID deaths 123,000 (1 in 553)

Our COVID death rate is more than twice Germany’s...
Did Covid actually cause all of those deaths? I know that Covid is mentioned on the death certificate but I'm not convinced that Covid was the actual cause, also, do other countries count their deaths in the same way as we do?
