‘Everyone is dying’: Myanmar on the brink of decimation – Asia Times

By Thomas A. Smith

Medical professionals are among the most respected individuals in the country, and so their decision to oppose the February 1 military coup d etat that took down the elected civilian government carried immense weight among the population.

One estimate provided by public health experts in Myanmar predicts that 50% of Myanmar s 55 million people will be infected within three weeks by either the Alpha or Delta variant of Covid-19.

One very reputable public health specialist expects that the population will be decimated by at least 10-15 million by the time Covid is done with Myanmar.

Even when you discount for the fear factor, I bet things are pretty awful in Myanmar.
