Hi Peter, I think it would be good if you showed your calculation in the article.
Because if people do the calculation wrongly like I did, theyтАЩll do this: 3953 / 6407 x 100 = 62%. People might just assume you got confused, and the over reporting should be 38%.
I just think it might help prevent an unnecessary distraction.
6407 reported covid deaths / 3953 actual covid deaths, should be about 62% over reporting?
You are correct. It is actually 62% overreporting, I am updating the article.
I went with what the Finnish state media Yle said about 40% without realizing they had their math wrong. Thank you for pointing it out!

Finnish media Yle got confused lol
It is true that 38% OF the reported covid deaths didn't die of covid, but it is also true that there WAS a 62% overreporting.
Percentages can be hard sometimes, hence why I didn't immediately catch on to the fact that they reported it incorrectly.
