Resurgent coronavirus cases in Turkey are fuelling tensions between doctors who say the official figures underplay the scale of the outbreak and politicians who accuse the country's medical association of undermining efforts to contain it.

ISTANBUL - Resurgent coronavirus cases in Turkey are fuelling tensions between doctors who say the official figures underplay the scale of the outbreak and politicians who accuse the country’s medical association of undermining efforts to contain it.More than 1,600 new cases and 60 deaths from COVID-19 are now reported daily, well off peak levels in April but rising steadily, with average numbers of deaths now three times the rates recorded between June and August.

“The numbers of just one city, or the numbers unveiled by just one or two medical chambers are almost equal to the numbers for the whole country,” doctor Halis Yerlikaya told Reuters at a hospital in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir. “The Turkish Medics Association is as dangerous as coronavirus and is disseminating threats,” tweeted Devlet Bahceli of the Nationalist Movement Party, whose alliance with Erdogan’s AK Party sustains the president’s parliamentary majority.

Fake news. Speculative

Stand with Greece and Cyprus

Oh goodness ,,, it'll begin there now! Everyone is seeing how misleading those serving us have been!

What a lie. Ridiculous. Our politicians are also doctors. That's how advanced Turkey is. Of course you don't know that in your country.

Sounds familiar

If only the Turkish governments spends much of its attention on saving the economy and addressing the public health, instead of starting wars in Libya, Syria, and now Greece.

Join the party.
