Grim reading indeed, but I suspect that there are different definitions of death by Covid here. The UK uses quite a strict definition (something like within 28 days of discharge from hospital??) whereas other countries may use other measures which reduce the death total. Perhaps it's better to use some measure of excess deaths, to capture both those directly from Corona and those caused by for example by not catching other ailments in time?
