Do they all record Covid deaths in the same way.

(Rhetorical question)

No. That's why I separated the fatalities from the population/ number of cases, which are perhaps more comparable.

Japan is more noteworthy on that front, I think.

The number of cases [not deaths] in Indonesia is interesting. There are approximately 17500 islands, 6,000 inhabited, which helped keep the number down. COVID didn't even reach literally 1,000s of islands. However, about 200,000,000 Indonesians live on about 4-5 of the islands. Java is one of the most densely populated parts of the world.

Yes. I think this makes comparison of mortality very problematic.

Exactly.

Or if you fell off your moped after testing positive.

We should be close to herd immunity then.

The first deaths in Indonesia were a group of three who died within hours of each other in Jakarta. One of them was my uncle! It was a real shock. Later in the year [2020], nine people died who attended an ill-advised family gathering in a house no more than 30m from where I am sitting as I type this! Another shock. In the midst of all that, my wife was extremely ill with something else! 2020... annus horribilis!
