A grim milestone was recorded yesterday when, in the 24-hour period between Monday and Tuesday, 23 people lost their lives to COVID-19.
It means just under one person died every hour of a day in this country.
If that’s not enough cause for concern, 148 people died from COVID in the first 17 days of this months.
These startling statistics make May 2021 now deadlier than all of 2020. The 148 deaths recorded thus far, eclipse the total death toll for 2020, which was 127.
