I would be careful comparing Covid deaths across countries.

A good example is the child mortality statistics - the US counts babies born alive, but then die, but other countries just count them as stillbirths if the death happens with X period of time.

Not saying Taiwan is hiding tens of thousands of deaths, but you have to assume some wiggle room in the numbers.

That’s why we can look at excess deaths.
