Deaths attributed to Covid, or excess mortality in general, take your pick.

For example:

Being German, I don't consider these countries part of Northern Europe. While the UN might put the UK there (but not Belgium), the way I got taught the terminology, the UK would belong to Nordwesteuropa as a sub-region of Westeuropa, whereas Nordeuropa consists of the Nordics (and maybe the Baltics).

You can definitely consider Scotland part of Northern Europe.
