The UK death rate today stands at
11,329
12.8%
The real UK death rate more likely to be 22,658
25.56%
Almost 3 times higher than any other country in the world.
Gross gross gross incompetence and manipulation of data.
Half of coronavirus deaths happen in care homes, data from EU suggests
Figures from Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium suggest UK may be
(grossly) underestimating care sector deaths.
Snapshot data from varying official sources shows that in Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium between 42% and 57% of deaths from the virus have been happening in homes, according to the report by academics based at the London School of Economics (LSE).

Looking at the death rate is absolutely pointless. It is well known that the UK’s testing has been piss poor, which will result in a higher death rate.
Also you are including people that have died that were not registered as a case, thus inflating even higher.
The only stats worth knowing are:
People in intensive care vs total beds
Deaths per population, district/province/ country levels.
Can’t rely on recovered stats as a lot of countries don’t report these.
