I thought that but 1) the economist numbers seem to confirm the covid deaths numbers at least for the UK, and 2) you get roughly the same numbers of daily covid deaths [1] by "tested positive in last 28 days" vs "covid on death certificate". So while it is an explanation that would match the data, I don't know if that's true.
