Could be so they can hit out with shit alone the lines of "UK government is best as we're handling it the best with less deaths"
No in germany they test post mortem when you are suspected of being infected.

This is flatout wrong though.
Doctors and the RKI
"The Italians test deceased persons who had specific symptoms and bring them into the statistics — we in Germany do not," said Dietrich Rothenbacher, a professor at the Institute for Epidemiology and Medical Biometry at Ulm University.
"It's a complex scenario," he said. Rothenbacher feels strongly that before any solid comparison can be made between countries, "the first step would be to obtain comparable numbers."
Why are so few Germans dying from the coronavirus? Experts wonder
"I would be happy if we can come back in two months' time and still be able to talk about what Germany did right," one expert said.
Like, i know this gets people upset somehow, but so far there seemed to be way more voices saying they don't test than the ones that say they do. I understand is a decentralized system so it may actually vary WILDLY based on areas and hospitals since it's not (as per RKI) mandatory.
Your foreign media is wrong tho.Doctors and the RKI

Apparently there was an article on FT where the statisticians speculated already 50% of the UK had the virus, that it was way more virulent than people thought. That would be good because it means it's less deadly than thought and herd immunity happens sooner. I say apparently, because it's behind a paywall so I can't verify.
Looking forward to the next page in this thread where someone starts once again with "Isn't the death rate in Germany so low because they don't test dead people???"Your foreign media is wrong tho.
From RKI themselves in german:
#Faktenfuchs: Wie werden Corona-Todesfälle gezählt?
Wenn bei einem Verstorbenen eine Corona-Infektion nachgewiesen wurde, dann gilt er dem Robert Koch-Institut zufolge als Corona-Todesfall. Auch wenn er möglicherweise wegen einer anderen Ursache gestorben ist. Was genau bedeutet das aber?
If you continue to stand on this fakenews i can even provide you video of the president of RKI saying the same thing. Maybe then you will stop spreading this fake.
Because for those people, the ones leading various countries, everything is a political game with gains and losses. All they really care is upholding their own salary and nothing else.
This is gonna be a real thing in the rust belt and rural areas. Unreliable access to health care is gonna kill so many people.
lotion. Put a thin layer of vasoline on your hands and put socks over them before bed.
One reason for this is that they've banned the media within Iran from reporting on it and have threatened to jail medical personnel who talk to the press about it. Medical personnel can only talk to outside press under anonymity, and the risks might not be worth it for them.

Iranian leaders once predicted the coronavirus epidemic ravaging China would not affect their country. Now Iran has among the most coronavirus deaths outside China, and Iranian medical workers have been told to keep quiet.www.nytimes.com
