Instead of states and countries reporting confirmed Covid-19 deaths, they should all be reporting excess deaths.

Not all excess deaths will be from this virus, to be sure. People far better at statistics than I am could tease out what the probably true numbers are. Some unknown number of them are for a whole lot of other reasons including, but not limited to, people unable or unwilling to go to hospital or get treatment because so many are sick and in hospital with the virus.
