Case count integrity is only as good as the testing accuracy, testing volume, and case-count protocols (whether or not "probable" cases are counted, or just lab-confirmed, etc.).
Death count integrity is only as good as the diagnosis/COD accuracy, and reporting protocols (whether or not "probable" deaths are counted or only those with lab-confirmed infections, AND whether or not the infection was the primary or even secondary COD).
Both case and death count protocols are different in many countries, and have changed several times
within many of those countries as well.
And all that is in addition to the variables you/we have mentioned previously.
At this point, I am guessing IPCC "models" on CV19 could've been more accurate...
