During the the past month, 31 percent of the COVID-19 deaths in the world have been in Latin America and the Caribbean, which includes less than 10 percent of the world’s population.

All of South America, Central America and the Caribbean?

What is the total population of the countries that comprise all of that territory?
Without that info the figure “1 million deaths” is meaningless.

And beside that, “1 million deaths” is BS propaganda.

As far as I’m concerned COVID news is presumptively a lie becsue there is a political motivation with he Left and the media. It may very well be a problem in Latin America but there needs to be clear and convincing evidence of such IMO.

The population of all South America is 442 million.

That is less than I thought it would be. At any rate, if SA had the same rate of "confirmed" deaths as the U.S. it would be about 809,000 deaths.

That still leaves Central America and the Caribbean.

By appointment and mostly the Chinese vaccine. Russian vaccine is no longer used. American vaccines are preferred but rare.
