Isn't that what the UK is doing now? plus adding deaths in the community?

Not sure if there's still to be a positive test before covid is cited as cause or contributor to a deaths in care homes or private homes here, if you take over half away and compare that to our figures from a couple of weeks back that didn't include care homes you'd have a fairer comparison possibly as you would have left those who passed in hospital and those with Covid on the death certificate?
