Daily Mail: Global deaths from coronavirus races past 20,000 with 450,000 confirmed cases as 182 countries and territories battle the deadly virus - with 3 BILLION people now in lockdown worldwide
* The tallies, using data from national authorities and WHO, could reflect only a fraction of the actual number
* Since the tally - carried out on Tuesday at 7pm - 2,341 new deaths and 43,010 new cases have been recorded
* The countries that recorded the most new deaths in 24 hours were Spain, 738, Italy, 683, and France with 231
* Italy, which recorded its first death linked to the coronavirus at the end of February, now has 7,503 deaths
The coronavirus pandemic has killed at least 22,000 people worldwide since it first appeared in China in December, official figures say.
More than 488,160 confirmed cases of infection have been diagnosed in 182 countries and territories since the start of the pandemic.
The tallies, using data collected from national authorities and information from the World Health Organisation (WHO), are likely to reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections. Many countries are now only testing cases that require hospitalisation.

22,030 deaths out of a population of 7+ billion
versus
12,000 to 61,000 flu deaths in the US pop. 330 million
7 billion / 330 million = ~ 21
Unless you are predicting
21*12 = 252,000 deaths
to
21*61 = 1,281,000 deaths
Why should I get excited?
Should we get excited about countries with open sewers with high death tolls? Who would have thunk it?
Use to live next ( 1/2 mile) to a river that was an open sewer. You get used to the smell.
Seriously though, there will be another Nat Geo special next year or the year after about shanty towns, where people defecate into the river or lake. And where some die by accidently falling in. Like India! These places will drive WHO's numbers up. And?
Does WNU strive to the same standards as Daily Mail stories with poor logic and poor grammar written by poorly paid interns?
What a great way to remove the middle class. Take their jobs and remaining money.
