  • UN Calls For Universal Health Coverage Without Delay
  • The long road to universal health coverage
  • Yes, II I completely agree simply because 2/3 of people dying even in the U.S.
  •  are not being counted. 
  • So, it's not 211,000 dead Americans instead it's around 500,000 to 600,000. Why?
  • Because most people either don't have health care insurance OR they are afraid of dying
  •  in  a hospital. The last 
  • is quite common because my Grandfather used to say: "Only go to a hospital to die, 
  • unless you break your arm or 
  • something." Many Many people are still this way 50 years later or more. So, the majority 
  • of people are dying 
  • worldwide without being tested or going to see a doctor or going to a hospital.
  • In the U.S. this is 2/3 approximately but in some countries it is 90% to 95% or higher. So, I'm thinking 
  • the actual 
  • death toll of coronavirus could be as high as 10 million already worldwide. At least 1 million 
  • but likely 10 million
  • could be the actual number. However, no government on earth (at least at this point) 
  • is going to give any useful actual 
  • estimate for many many reasons.
