They are but for context, there are on average 4 or 5 road traffic deaths per day in the UK (1500 or so a year)… it’s not really relevant to say that 4 out of the 200 deaths might actually have been car crash victims. And that’s if all of those 4 or 5 were Covid positive within 28 days of dying which is highly unlikely. It will be at most one or two here and there. Not relevant at all to the overall stats.

I guess maybe people are massively over-estimating how many people die in car crashes?

(Thankfully) the truth about overall Death Stats is that most people die in old age (75+) and of various ailments, cancers, pneumonias, heart failure etc. but what could mostly just be termed “old age”.
