> Did they not tell you that in Belgium?

What's up with this pointless snarkiness? You're making it sound like the machinations of an evil propaganda machine, when in reality Belgium has been quite good at overreporting covid stats. Not sure which stats you're referring to as being "some of the worst in the world".

You question the reporting in a country, I do the same and you get upset.

Belgium has been among the top in every chart I've seen. I can't imagine those charts not having been reported on in Belgium.

Someone else already mentioned overcounting and you are just ignoring it.

Read up about it, before saying they did "terrible".

Statistics in this case are a simplified form of complex policies, ... Countries overcounting vs. undercounting should be the top 1 variable to be aware of.

Ps. I'm from Belgium, I'm very much aware of all statistics and the controversy overcounting causes.

COVID deaths per-capita were really high in Belgium and it was one of the worst in the world until recently, but it seems it's now just about average compared to southern European countries, but way above most of its neighbouring countries.

NL is undercounting by 30 to 40% in the official figures. Eventually this gets fixed due to excess death figures being far more accurate but those don't make it into the various COVID statistics reports. So you'll hear one official institution in NL reporting a cumulative tally of about 22600 at the moment, and another reporting 35000 or thereabouts.

(good article about this in Dutch https://www.ntvg.nl/artikelen/covid-19-oversterfte-de-maat )

Belgium's total excess mortality for 2020-21 is actually quite low: https://i.redd.it/pqr32tp3yfi81.jpg

Or were they one of the few countries not underreporting?
