I expect very few countries have an accurate figure for the number of cases, as it is heavily influenced by test capacity. Arguably that figure is for decoration.
In the case of the UK, I think they estimated something like 6.7% have had the virus, based on antibody sampling. So something over 4 million.

Also, there are different criteria for deciding who is recorded as a Covid death in each country.
