This is the main reason why a lot of people believe the numbers are underreported. A lot of people are dying without ever having had a test and are not even counted as a COVID-19 death.

They absolutely are underreported, but I believe every country (except maybe South Korea and Singapore) is underreporting cases, even Canada isn't doing great in this regard.

That said the US seems to be doing even worse in terms of testing and unfortunately has a spokesman that constantly lies to the world.
