Our country (Czechia) count covid deaths as "those who has positive PCR test after death". Which means that covid was not always cause of death. Uncle of my friend had Alzheimer's in late stadium and died last year. She was counted as covid dead. Insurance companies payed more to hospitals for covid patients, so it was profitable to make up some cases.

Our neighbors (Slovakia) count covid deaths after autopsy where covid was main reason of death.

So... Data was collected differently. Conclusions based on those data are relative.

I ask many people about how many people dead because of covid they personally know. For today, I know only one. That lead me for conclusion that I cannot trust my gonverment any more.
