In a war, I'd imagine there are so many dead people about that nobody notices.

Not much, or not much being officially reported.
I noted recently te BBC have resorted to reporting deaths where Covid had been mentioned on the death certificate - deaths from covid and deaths with covid

That is the way it has been reported for a long time and is perfectly reasonable. Many deaths are not directly caused by Covid, but by it exacerbating pre-existing conditions - which people might otherwise have lived with for decades. The primary cause may be the underlying condition, but it likely wouldn't have killed them now, without Covid.

I had the impression a few weeks ago that they were reporting all deaths where the individual had tested positive for Covid within the last ?28 days (or whatever the time period was) as being included in the Covid death total, even if the individual had been run over by a bus. I've given up following it now. It's become boring! It's worse than the daily announcement of casualties during the Falklands war.

Not where they have been run over, but where an illness has killed them.

The western powers find it convenient to represent "The Taliban" as an entity, so that it can be the villain. But actually, it is more of a "movement", and one that must have a lot of grass-roots support out in the provinces, otherwise it would not have been so successful. Covid is primarily a problem in areas that are densely populated, and have a lot of movement between centres. Afghanistan is not like that.
