File photo.A report into excess deaths over the past year suggests more than 133,000 people in SA have died from Covid-19, far more than the official tally of nearly 55,000.
In its latest report, published on Wednesday, the SAMRC said SA had seen 157,000 excess deaths in the past 12 months and estimated that 85% of them were caused by Covid-19, which means just over 133,000 people have died from the disease.SA implemented one of the world's most restrictive lockdowns from March 2020, when cases were still relatively low, and the SAMRC said increases in weekly deaths due to the pandemic only became evident from May 2020 onwards.
I agree 100% the death toll is more than this
The useful idiots in the Press prepping us for more government undemocratic action on the way
The entire excess death concept is a crock of crap. Linking these to the virus is even more bullshit.
The fear mongering continues even if they have to scrap at the bottom of the barrel for numbers, sick fools.🤕 So the predicted 'millions will die'😲😲 is not working out very well is it?
