But it's not enough to just advise the old and at-risk to stay home, we gotta outlaw entire industries in solidarity! /s

I call bullshit on that. Are the parents going to eat their children?

Are the parents going to eat their children?

Well, there's a normal thought.

For countries that have significant impoverished populations, it's completely unsurprising to me that extraordinarily hard times translate directly to extra deaths.

The article itself does mention some specifics, and the statement by the UN secretary general mentions more:

However, I am disappointed that I haven't managed to find the actual report mentioned yet.
