Always money before lives especially the old poor and redundant ,next you play god by letting those die that you feel ,are to costly to save ,as in Italy and Spain a couple of weeks ago you impatiently awaited this virus as if it was welcome now you don't know how to cope ,with this terror you welcomed,by keeping the doors open for business u let in a terror and collapse our country from the inside ,now no bussiness , health or longevity, only misery for years to come and the old dying with no say as they were the ones traveling the world and galavanting like there is no tommorow,sis on you all individuals,organizations, and governments worldwide ,u have once again failed the innocent the weak the poor the voiceless and the old,which includes your own families older and younger or weaker than you. May the same fate befall you that u have failed to stop,due to your greed and negligence may those innocent raise up and hold you untouchables accountable and may God so too.May history look back at what's happening now,and put the blame squarely on you. May God have mercy on the innocent!

Hi, I have been watching the WHO website for daily statistics, but it does not appear to be as up to date as your graph. Is it possible to advise the link so everyone can look at it from home please?
Stay Safe
