I am always rolling my eyes at breathless news reports along the lines of "the actual number of deaths may be higher than the official count!"
Of course they are going to be higher.
Even the official counts can be fuzzy. For example, people dying of cancer are often carried off by pneumonia due to their weakened state. Was the cause of death the cancer or the pneumonia?
