We're counting covid deaths in care facilities (old-folks homes) in Canada. We're finding it (tragically) one of the largest categories.

But I'm sure you'll find it true in any country that those deaths are under reported to some extent due to some lack of testing before the first clinical diagnosis of covid in a facility earlier on in the pandemic.

Tracking this stuff is really messy, when testing just isn't available universally, and current tests are only a point-in-time confirmation. We won't have much more accurate statistics until there's a test that can tell if you were infected at some point (forget the name for that type of test).
