Rose-tinted Covid-19 glasses
There were 199 Covid-19 deaths yesterday, a new record as the number of cases and fatalities continue to spiral.
But while the number of casualties gives a bleak outlook, there are indications that the government may be trying to paint a softer image of the pandemic.
The Health Ministry has stopped disclosing a detailed breakdown on Covid-19 fatalities, including the ages of those deceased and what comorbidities they had.
At the same time, the ministry has also been releasing new charts about the severity of new cases during admission, which indicates that less than one percent of new cases per day are severe and critical, while more than 95 percent are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms.
