You are fake news
C'mon! Brazil has 45,000 infected by coronavirus and 2,900 went dead. Belgium has 42,000 cases and 6,300 went dead. Nederland has 35,000 infected and 4,000 deaths. It is usual to see these open graves cause this is a popular cemetery instead of this virus. It's sensationalism!
Governors are taking advantage of the Chinese virus to steal public money and the press says nothing.
Anyone who dies in the state of São Paulo is considered dead by the Chinese virus. Adulterated numbers and governors stealing public money that should go to buy respirators
Fake News!! This news is a big lie. Communist governors are tampering with numbers to make it look like the death toll is greater than the actual death toll
I mean there are 210 million of them.
