Corona is out of control in #Syria.
Earlier, I was relaying on forwards on wahtsapp groups/local pgs, but now I have friends and extended family who have the virus. There is a crisis in Damascus with hospitals overfilled.
Some are speaking of 50-60 deaths a day

Regime is not issuing or recognizing COVID deaths. Causes of deaths are always attributed to “lung failure”, “severe lung infection” or “pneumonia”.
Just last week, about 8 Mosque Sheikhs passed away, these have the highest risk, deal with masses, are old...etc

Ppl have not been taking Corona serious in Syria. Esp after the gov essentially claimed victory over the virus and lifted off isolation/restrictions late last month.
With official gov counts putting cases around Syria in just dozens, ppl started going back to their normal lives.
