Failure after failure is costing lives. We must speak out.

Ireland - 116
Portugal - 67
Germany - 51
Canada - 39
South Korea - 5
China - 3
Australia - 3
New Zealand - 2

Confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people

Limited testing and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death means that the number of confirmed deaths may not be an accurate count of the true total number of deaths from COVID-19.
