The number of deaths is higher than what we are hearing on radio.yesterday somebody i know died mysteriously at home.he will be buried this morning with no involvement of govt health officials.there is no concrete evidence that he died of covid,but its the main suspect.this is an indication that people could possibly be dying in their homes without going to hospital.
