Worldwide covid19 report, 6th May, 5:10am

A really scary footage appeared from Brazil yesterday with 13,000 graves dug and filling up with dead victims of the killer disease every 5 minutes.

Reports say that medics are hardly able to test or manage patients as they are overwhelmed with the shear numbers. People  drop dead in large numbers in quick succession.

Anyone who takes ill, suffers alone, dies and gets buried.
