Bonefish,
More to do with the number of covid19 infection and deaths.likely a lot lower than actual.
Personally I think in America, we overcounted a bit, but in most other countries, they undercounted substantially.

Alameda County, for example, revised their death toll down by 25%:

ABC7 - Alameda County revises COVID-19 death count by 25%

But that revision was done to be more in line with state guidelines. In other words, the county came up with their own death toll that didn't match up to what the state mandated, so they revised the number downward. The state's numbers did not change.

Meanwhile, in places like Mexico, India, and Russia, death tolls are vastly underreported. Just recently, Russia updated their death toll for 2020 upwards by 38%:

This upward revision isn't even reflected in worldometers.com, at least as of this post:
