After today India will likely cross Britain's test figures...
If it was "random sampling", ie the candidates to be tested were selected randomly (which neither UK nor India are doing btw), then a sample of same size would be far more representative for UK on account smaller population

Death registration can be used... Compliance for death registration is much higher than birth registration... Especially for elderly (insurance claims, property claims, bank account closures)
Since majority of deaths would belong to elderly it can be useful surveillance tool. https://twitter.com/Terex93556797/status/1254739793507827715

There is a lag in death registration however... https://twitter.com/Terex93556797/status/1254739793507827715
