A senior member of Iran's medical association says the country's death toll from the coronavirus is 3-4 times the official number released by the government.

The state-run Mehr news agency quoted Gheshlaghi as saying that field statistics, data from medical staff, what he called"buried numbers" and positive Covid-19 tests showed that the number of fatalities was much higher than the government had acknowledged.

Harirchi's comments appeared to be an attempt by the ministry to be more open about the fallout from the virus and to possibly shift responsibility to other parts of the government amid growing popular frustration, political analysts said.Iran's health ministry said on Wednesday that 415 people had died from the coronavirus over the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 33,714. Health ministry spokeswoman Sima Sada Lari said there were 588,648 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran, said the comments from senior officials alleging a higher death toll"confirm that the government from the first day has been presenting a very deceptive picture about the reality in Iran."

Grave-counting satellite images seek to track Yemen's COVID death tollA first-of-its-kind study using satellite images to count fresh graves and analyse burial activity in Yemen has estimated the death toll there from COVID-19 or COVID-related causes is far higher than official government figures suggest. The war on Yemen by uaegov and Saudi is more deadly than Covid 19. I did not have “grave-counting satellite images” on my 2020 BINGO card. Yeah, because the new rule is every new grave you see, obviously a covid death.
