Death tolls are being recorded with a variety of data collections. For example, the deaths which only took place in the hospitals were being recorded by England until the end of April which means that it is not fully accurate and all the deaths at other places were not being taken in count. On the contrary, European countries like France included deaths of all places (hospitals, care homes, etc.) Covid - 19 cases are being recorded differently in each country, hence the death rate fluctuation.
