@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo. That's why I separated the fatalities from the population/ number of cases, which are perhaps more comparable.
Do they all record Covid deaths in the same way.
(Rhetorical question)

@divegeester saidJapan is more noteworthy on that front, I think.
I wonder why the ratio of deaths in your country is so much lower.
@divegeester saidThe number of cases [not deaths] in Indonesia is interesting. There are approximately 17500 islands, 6,000 inhabited, which helped keep the number down. COVID didn't even reach literally 1,000s of islands. However, about 200,000,000 Indonesians live on about 4-5 of the islands. Java is one of the most densely populated parts of the world.

@divegeester saidYes. I think this makes comparison of mortality very problematic.
In the UK if you died of a heart attack whist infected with covid19 your death was recorded as being covid related.

@divegeester saidExactly.

@divegeester saidOr if you fell off your moped after testing positive.

@fmf saidWe should be close to herd immunity then.

@fmf saidThe first deaths in Indonesia were a group of three who died within hours of each other in Jakarta. One of them was my uncle! It was a real shock. Later in the year [2020], nine people died who attended an ill-advised family gathering in a house no more than 30m from where I am sitting as I type this! Another shock. In the midst of all that, my wife was extremely ill with something else! 2020... annus horribilis!
