The teen was arrested Feb 11 after police stopped her for riding an illegal motorized

bike in a residential neighborhood at high speeds Kling said days after her arrest Police

launched an investigation into the officersrsquo actions and apologized to the girlrsquos family

A portion of her arrest was captured on bystander video which shows the officers grab

her arms and then fling her to the ground One officer appears to grab her neck

The officers were not named in the days after the arrest but court documents claim that

an officer named Ivan Delgadillo Arce choked and struck the teen while another officer

identified only as Zamora failed to intervene

the minor and for furtherance of conspiracy by arresting the minor and lying to her

The girl identified in court documents only as ldquoSAJrdquo was riding a homemade ldquomini-

bikerdquo with her twin brother near their home documents stated

ldquoKids riding homemade mini-bikes are commonplace in Rialto and as long as the

youths wear helmets local law enforcement usually turns a blind eye but this day

marked a change to this unwritten policyrdquo the lawsuit states

The girl was stopped around 4 pm Feb 11 at the intersection of South Linden and

Pinedale avenues by the officers who accused her of speeding

Delgadillo cursed at the girl repeatedly and questioned her sexuality ldquocreating a

negative tone for what could have been a negative encounterrdquo the lawsuit alleges

According to a transcript included in the lawsuit Delgadillo accused the girl of lying

after she told him she was 17 She was later determined to be 16

The exchange became more heated as the officer asked her whether she wanted to keep

the bike and had someone to pick her up

ldquoStop being a smart assrdquo Delgadillo said according to the transcript ldquoYoursquore not talking

to your DaDa or your Mama [in a mocking tone] Yoursquore talking to police officers Ok

Stop being a smart ass and we can treat you like a young lady Okrdquo

The officer accused her of going 40 mph on the bike

ldquoIrsquom not asking you Irsquom telling you because we were following yourdquo Delgadillo said

ldquoWe had to get up to like 80 to catch up to you hellip Wersquore trying to tell you that yoursquore

detained right now for a crime The crime is you canrsquot be riding these things like thatrdquo

Delgadillo told Zamora to make sure the teen got her helmet off according to the

transcript



ldquoPut it to the side hellip before she grabs you and hits you with it as a weaponrdquo Delgadillo

said

The girl called out to another minor across the street telling the minor to get her

brother The officers meanwhile moved to arrest her

ldquoIrsquom communicatingrdquo the girl said ldquoNo come on Irsquom communicating with yourdquo

Delgadillo told her to stop several times according to the lawsuit

ldquoDo I have to tase yourdquo he said ldquoI donrsquot wanna tase you Stop resisting Stop

resisting I donrsquot wanna hurt yourdquo

As he spoke Delgadillo threw the girl to the ground according to the suit She landed

on a shoulder she had recently had surgery on the lawsuit says

Delgadillo put his knee on her chest and said ldquoDid you just try to bite me Handcuff

her Handcuff her nowrdquo

Delgadillo said the girl tried to bite him a second time and the officers put the girl in

their patrol vehicle as her grandfather walked up according to the suit

At the same time Delgadillo ldquoforcefully intentionally and without regard for the

minorrsquos life struck her directly in the throat sucker punch style while she was

handcuffed and in the patrol unitrdquo the lawsuit alleges



The strike is visible on Delgadillorsquos body-camera video but not on a bystanderrsquos

cellphone video according to the suit

Zamora told the girlrsquos grandfather that they tried to detain her and that he and

Delgadillo ldquotalked to her very nicerdquo

The grandfather asked whether she was going to jail for resisting

ldquoNo shersquos going to jail for assaulting an officerrdquo Delgadillo said ldquoAre you kidding merdquo

ldquoShersquos under arrest for disrespecting usrdquo Zamora said to the girlrsquos father who had also

walked up according to the transcript

ldquoHe hurt my neckrdquo the girl said ldquoHe hurt my neck He hurt my neck He put his hand

around my neckrdquo

ldquoWe were as polite as we could possibly be to herrdquo Delgadillo said

The lawsuit acknowledges that Kling apologized shortly after the girlrsquos arrest but says

ldquowords without actions are hollow and are received as suchrdquo

The police chief failed in his handling of the incident the suit alleges because the

assault occurred while the girl was handcuffed and seated in the back of a patrol vehicle

ldquoWhile this explains why [he] refuses to release the damning body worn camera footage

it does not explain why [he] has not fired defendant Delgadillo for the brutal battery on



the minorrdquo the suit says

The lawsuit also states that the girl was booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of assault

and battery on the officer and imprisoned for four days without cause

The familyrsquos attorney Caree Harper is asking the court to award $10 million in

damages plus attorneysrsquo fees and any other relief the court deems appropriate

Adaacuten Ortega a Rialto spokesperson said the city and Police Department do not

comment on pending litigation

In a February statement Kling said he viewed officer body-camera footage ldquoand

although the video depicts the juvenile resisting officers we are investigating the

officerrsquos decision to trip the juvenile to the ground and later placing his hand on the

juvenilersquos throat during the arrestrdquo

LA County Board of Supervisors votes to create super agency onhomelessness

County supervisors voted 3-2 to revamp eorts on homelessness Above an encampment in downtown Los Angeles inNovember (Luis Sinco Los Angeles Times)

BY RUBEN VIVES | STAFF WRITER

MAY 4 2022 5 AM PT

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to create a new office or

department that would coordinate the countyrsquos response to the homelessness crisis in

the region

The new entity would have authority over various agencies mdash including the countyrsquos

departments of health services social services and mental health mdash and would report

directly to the Board of Supervisors

In a divided vote the supervisors called for the county chief executive to return with

recommendations on the specific powers and structure of the new office Among the



options to be considered were modeling it after the county Office of Emergency

Management which coordinates county agencies during emergencies or elevating the

Homeless Initiative which currently manages homeless funds from the Measure H sales

tax

The new entity was one of seven recommendations presented to the board Tuesday by a

special committee set up to examine ways to improve the countyrsquos response to

homelessness Among them were several proposals to improve the efficiency of the Los

Angeles Homeless Services Authority and clarify its role That joint powers agency

could implement some of the recommendations independently but others might

require negotiation between the city and county

All the recommendations were approved on a single 3-2 vote

Supervisor Kathryn Barger who co-authored and introduced the motion said the

recommendations would improve coordination of services for unhoused people and

increase accountability of the countyrsquos agencies

ldquoThe end goal is to reform the systematic dysfunction that has resulted in the dismal

outcomes wersquore seeing play out on our streets in our storefronts and in our

neighborhoodsrdquo she said ldquoWe now have a path forwardrdquo

ADVERTISEMENT



The changes would give county agencies and cities access to the Homeless Management

Information System a database that tracks services provided to people experiencing

homelessness Additionally the board approved a recommendation that a yet-to-be-

determined share of revenue from Measure H the 2017 sales tax increase to help

homeless people be directed to a ldquolocal solutions fundrdquo to help support citiesrsquo efforts to

implement their own homeless housing and service plans

Supervisor Hilda Solis who co-authored the motion said the recommendations provide

a ldquo framework for building a transparent inclusive and accountable homeless

governance systemrdquo

ldquoBut what I am most grateful for is the voice our city partners had at the table to

enhance collaboration to support unhoused individuals living in their jurisdictionsrdquo she

said

Given its name many perceive LAHSA as a one-stop shop for solving the countyrsquos

homeless crisis

But the agency doesnrsquot control many of the tools that help people get off the streets and

into housing Its powers overlap with that of city and county departments complicating

the larger effort to get people into housing

Created in 1993 LAHSA was given limited powers and an even more limited mission of

stopping the city and county from bickering over federal dollars for homeless housing

and services Its inability to live up to the publicrsquos expectations mdash coupled with the

countyrsquos skyrocketing homeless population mdash has led to a growing consensus that the

agency needed to be restructured

Those efforts started last July when the Board of Supervisors established the Blue

Ribbon Commission on Homelessness an eight-member committee tasked with



conducting a comprehensive study and analysis of LAHSArsquos governance and operations

and providing recommendations to change and improve the agencyrsquos effectiveness

Six months of meetings resulted in the recommendations in which the commission and

its staff sought feedback from the county supervisorsrsquo staff Los Angeles City Council

members business associations coalitions of faith leaders officials from cities across

the county and civic groups like the Committee for Greater LA

The supervisors say they want LAHSA to refocus its efforts on ensuring that federal

funding opportunities are in line with state and local priorities

Despite its approval at least two members of the board remain skeptical about whether

enacting the recommendations would fix any of the ongoing problems They also worry

about the disruption of services during the transitional phase

Voting against the motion was Supervisor Sheila Kuehl who said the recommendations

would ldquocause a thickening of the county bureaucracy and a process of administrative

seat-swapping that will divert time resources and attentionrdquo

ldquoItrsquos like moving the deck chairs on the Titanic and thinking it will keep it afloatrdquo

Supervisor Holly J Mitchell said she still couldnrsquot see how the new entity could

coordinate so many different departments on a complex issue She also worried about

the costs in implementing the recommendations She said the county had already spent

$1 million just to conduct the study

ldquoThis motion is creating another system without us knowing how much money we are

using where itrsquos going and the impact it will haverdquo she said

Ahmad Chapman spokesman for LAHSA said the split of votes among supervisors

demonstrates the difficulty in addressing the crisis



ldquoLAHSA remains committed to leading our rehousing system with commitment

innovation and heartrdquo Chapman said ldquoHomelessness is an all-hands-on-deck

emergency that requires all of us working together to bring our unhoused neighbors

Op-Ed COVID vaccines need to be evolving much faster

Latest COVID-19 Virus tracker Hospitalizations Vaccines Newsletter



(Nardus Engelbrecht Associated Press)

BY ERIC J TOPOL

MAY 4 2022 3 AM PT

The virus that brought us COVID-19 is now going through accelerated evolution Our

vaccines must do the same

The Omicron wave was by far the worst yet for the United States with at its peak well

over 1 million new cases a day nearly 160000 COVID-19 hospitalizations and almost

4000 deaths per day That was attributed to the BA1 variant the most densely mutated

version of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus since the pandemicrsquos origin About 40 to 50

of Americans were likely infected with this virus in the brief span of 10 weeks

Now wersquore facing even worse Omicron family variants BA2 and BA2121



For perspective Omicronrsquos BA1 was about 50 more infectious than Delta the variant

it replaced At the time it was hard to conceive of a version of the virus that could be

more contagious But BA2 which out-competed it here in the US is 30 more

transmissible than BA1 And BA2121 now overtaking BA2 is another 25 more

infectious than BA2 Accordingly in recent months since Omicron was first recognized

in the United States in late November wersquove gone from a hyper-transmissible virus

strain to two more that take that problem to another level

To make matters worse the Omicron-specific vaccines that are in clinical testing by

multiple vaccine manufacturers such as Moderna and Pfizer use the BA1 spike and

will most likely not be adequately protective against BA2121 infections or other new

Omicron family variants

ADVERTISEMENT

The latest variants have appeared in rapid succession a worrying sign that the virus will

prove adaptable over time Already the new Omicron variants are thriving in part

because they have become more difficult for our immune system to ldquoseerdquo They donrsquot

look like a prior version of the virus to which we have been exposed or against which we

have been vaccinated

That means even the millions of people who had Omicron BA1 infections earlier this

year are still vulnerable to infection with BA2121 especially if theyrsquore unvaccinated

That will promote spread and prolong the pandemic Moreover people who get



BA2121 infections may be susceptible to ldquolong COVIDrdquo the chronic condition that can

lead to significant functional impairment

Although existing vaccines are not particularly helpful at preventing infections with or

transmission of the new BA2 variants they do still work especially with boosters to

protect against hospitalizations and deaths We also have the Paxlovid pill pack for

treatment of any of these variants which has been shown to reduce hospitalizations and

deaths by 89 in people deemed at high risk While Paxlovid is variant-proof at this

time resistance can emerge and there have been reports of early relapse a problem

that has not yet been adequately explained

Where does this leave us The new BA2 variant is clearly going to add to the increasing

cases of COVID-19 in the United States now averaging about 60000 per day up 50

in the last two weeks but grossly underreported because of at-home testing and

individuals who arenrsquot tested at all There will be an increase in hospitalizations and

deaths especially among Americans age 50 and older who account for 92 of the

deaths in the pandemic

It is unlikely these major outcomes of the BA2121 variant will reach the profound

levels of the original Omicron wave here because there is certainly some cross-

immunity from prior exposure to BA1 So we need to be gearing up for whatrsquos likely to

come next further Omicron evolution and a new variant that has little to do with

Omicron

In South Africa a new fourth wave has begun with BA4 and BA5 which share some

properties with the BA2121 that we are dealing with There are many other Omicron

subvariants that are cropping up throughout the world that are not yet well

characterized but could potentially take the place of the ones dominating now

There is also an overwhelmingly high risk of a completely new variant for multiple

reasons The millions of immunocompromised people any one of whom could have



accelerated evolution of the virus within them and subsequently transmitted the virus

The huge populations around the world where vaccines have made negligible inroads

Abundant animal reservoirs with spillover to humans already documented The higher

incidence of coinfections in people such as Omicron and Delta forming ldquoDeltacronrdquo mdash

lineages that fortunately to date have not taken root

While we would all like the pandemic to be over we do not appear to be witnessing the

end The likelihood of more noxious variants ahead is high and our preparedness is

poor

Governments around the world need to make it a priority to support development of

variant-proof vaccines such as against the entire sarbecovirus family and all anticipated

variants The US pushed for the first wave of vaccines with an initiative called

Operation Warp Speed and that push should continue In the months ahead our

current vaccines may offer diminished protection against hospitalization and death

Likewise more oral drugs beyond Paxlovid need accelerated development and there are

many very good candidates in the pipeline

Ignoring the warnings will not make the virus go away It keeps getting fitter and more

transmissible while our human qualities of fatigue and complacency feed right into the

virusrsquos remarkable opportunism

BY MELODY GUTIERREZ | STAFF WRITER

MAY 4 2022 5 AM PT

FOR SUBSCRIBERS

SACRAMENTO mdash In the frantic first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic three companies

promised California officials that they could secure millions of protective masks in

exchange for $16 billion in no-bid government contracts Each effort ended badly for

the state

Two years later lawsuits stemming from the failed contracts provide a glimpse into the

dealmaking mdash including how California Controller Betty Yee a two-term Democrat with



no formal role in the contracting process worked behind the scenes to help a pair of

political operatives land a deal that turned out to be one of the statersquos most flawed

The $600-million contract with Blue Flame Medical LLC a healthcare supplies startup

was later flagged as a case of possible fraud and the state was forced to claw back its

massive upfront payment But Yeersquos involvement with the effort never became public

even after the deal collapsed and state lawmakers demanded a full accounting of what

had happened

Over the course of a pivotal week in March 2020 Yee provided Blue Flamersquos co-founder

with private advice on how to negotiate an advance payment and discouraged him from

disclosing how much the company would pocket from the deal according to text

messages documented in a lawsuit involving the contract

ldquoI will see to it that the wire happens first thing this morningrdquo Yee wrote to John

Thomas a longtime Republican strategist who founded Blue Flame with GOP

fundraiser Mike Gula in a text message on March 26 2020

Hours later the state wired Blue Flame a down payment of $457 million The

companyrsquos internal records disclosed as part of a lawsuit show that it stood to turn a

profit of $134 million by charging the state 20 to 30 markups

ldquoSweet mother of Godrdquo Gula wrote in an email to Blue Flamersquos lawyer after calculating

the companyrsquos potential windfall one of hundreds of documents included in a lawsuit

the company filed against its bank Chain Bridge for triggering the fraud concerns

Chain Bridge then sued JPMorgan Chase the statersquos bank In February JPMorgan one

of the worldrsquos largest banks sued the state to recover its costs in untangling the deal

California lawmakers question statersquos vetting of failed coronavirus contractsMay 11 2020

Two other massive COVID-19 mask deals also remain mired in lawsuits

Court documents reveal that a settlement was reached between the state and Advoque

Safeguard a Santa Clara company that failed to deliver most of the N95 masks it was

contracted to make while 10 million masks that did arrive were later recalled for failing

to meet federal filtration standards State officials said the company which faces three

lawsuits stemming from its other mask deals has yet to make any of the agreed-upon

payments

In a third case Alabama company Bear Mountain alleges that California officials

improperly canceled an $800-million mask contract that was promoted by an

influential Sacramento lobbyist

The agreements were among many no-bid contracts intended to help California officials

quickly buy lifesaving supplies a process allowed under Gov Gavin Newsomrsquos

proclamation of a state of emergency due to COVID-19

ldquoNo-bid contracts are subject to all kinds of problemsrdquo said Larry Gerston a political

commentator and professor emeritus at San Jose State ldquoThey are subject to foolish

things You have to wonder how many things we donrsquot know aboutrdquo



Like many vendors that ended up securing a California government contract Blue

Flame looked for inroads with political insiders The company offered cash commissions

and retainers to lobbyists strategists and medical sales representatives according to

records contained in the lawsuit

Yeersquos political fundraiser initially made the introduction to Thomas according to a

deposition of Rick Chivaro chief counsel to the state controllerrsquos office Court

documents identify the fundraiser as Stephanie Daily Smith a Democratic political

consultant based in San Diego County Yee through her office and Daily Smith declined

to comment

As the statersquos paymaster Yee is tasked with carrying out the final details of spending

taxpayer dollars Her office issues checks for the state of California and can raise

concerns about whether funds are being spent wisely The job of vetting and selecting

who receives state contracts largely falls to a different California government office the

Department of General Services

But in a series of text messages written between March 20 and March 27 2020 and

made public in the Blue Flame lawsuit Yee went out of her way to advocate for the

company mdash after Thomas began by telling her he had 100 million N95 masks at the Port

of Long Beach that his company could ldquomove to you guys todayrdquo

Hours later Thomas said ldquoWersquove almost sold all of this first shipmentrdquo but he

promised that 100 million masks would arrive each week Yee then said she had made

the governorrsquos office aware of his offer The next day Thomas thanked Yee for her ldquohelp

birddogging thisrdquo to which she responded by saying ldquoGot it Will press governorrsquos

folksrdquo

The text messages show that the state controller promised to step up her efforts to

convince Newsomrsquos office to make the deal after Thomas warned that California was

losing even more supplies to quicker buyers

In his deposition last year Thomas said Blue Flame did not sell any of the 100 million

masks he claimed to have at the port despite what he had told Yee

In one text message Thomas wondered whether he should disclose Blue Flamersquos profits

to state officials as a way ldquoto ease everyonersquos concernsrdquo about price gouging Yee the

gatekeeper to the state treasury warned against doing so

ldquoIf you share info with State it may become a matter of public record and make

headlinesrdquo Yee texted Thomas ldquoIf this is proprietary info keep it that wayrdquo

As concerns rose over the pace of negotiations Yee suggested how Thomas should word

his request to Newsom administration officials for Blue Flame to be paid in advance mdash

telling him to do so ldquowithout invoking my namerdquo Thomas took Yeersquos suggestion

sending a near-verbatim request text messages show



ldquoPrepayment is not a problem for my office under the emergency declarationrdquo Yee

assured Thomas in one text referring to Newsomrsquos COVID-19 order

Four days after Yee suggested a cash advance the state wired $457 million to Blue

Flamersquos bank amounting to an upfront payment of 75 ldquoWe got it Thank yourdquo

Thomas texted Yee afterward

But the large payment triggered a warning by Chain Bridge Bank officials of a potential

scam given that Blue Flame had opened its account with the bank the day before Amid

the bankrsquos concerns state officials asked for the wire to be reversed a few hours later

With the deal in jeopardy Thomas again turned to Yee

ldquoHi Betty sorry to bug you but I have an issue that I need your help withrdquo he wrote

ldquoCan you call me when you have a momentrdquo

This time the state controller mdash elected in 2014 and reelected in 2018 mdash didnrsquot

immediately respond The next day she told Thomas to instead communicate with state

procurement officials and ldquoplease cease to keep me in the loop it is not helpful You

have a credibility issue now that you need to solve Good luckrdquo

In seeking to explain Yeersquos role Chief Counsel Chivaro said in a lawsuit deposition that

ldquothe controller was merely trying to ensure that we had the face masks that we needed

and other PPE to protect the nurses and the doctors that were handling these COVID

cases

ldquoHer job was not to vet Mr Thomas in any way shape or formrdquo Chivaro said of Yee



In a statement to The Times Blue Flame officials placed the blame on the fraud warning

issued by Chain Bridge Bank

ldquoThere is no doubt in our mind that Blue Flame Medical would have fully delivered all

100 million masks to California had it not been for the reckless and negligent actions of

Chainbridge Bankrdquo the company said in its statement

Other deals made in the early spring of 2020 to secure protective masks were also

problematic

One day after the Blue Flame deal fell apart California signed an $800-million contract

with Bear Mountain a company led by former Alabama Atty Gen Troy King That

contract was canceled less than six weeks later after state officials said the company

failed to deliver most of the masks

The deal was aided by Paul Bauer a Sacramento lobbyist who at the time worked for

the prominent government relations firm Mercury Public Affairs mdash before departing

soon after questions were raised about the contract

Bear Mountain executives alleged in their December 2020 lawsuit that the state

abruptly canceled its contract without warning and refused to accept millions of masks

they had secured The state has insisted that Bear Mountain missed its first deadline

then initially delivered just 2 of what was required

ldquoWhile COVID-19 ravaged the state for weeks Bear Mountain continued to miss

deadlines and the few deliveries it made fell far short of its contractual obligationsrdquo

attorneys for the state wrote in the lawsuit

ldquoThese were massive contracts for tons of moneyrdquo said Jon Coupal president of the

Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn ldquoItrsquos hard to Monday morning quarterback this but itrsquos



entirely appropriate to go back and look at how much was spent and the decision-

making processrdquo

The Bear Mountain deal collapsed as Newsom was facing criticism over an even larger

deal to purchase masks a $1-billion contract with China-based auto manufacturer BYD

The companyrsquos efforts were beset with delays in April and May 2020 resulting in BYD

having to reimburse the state $2475 million after initially failing to obtain federal

certification of its N95 masks

CALIFORNIA

Newsomrsquos secretive $1-billion mask deal with Chinese automaker sparks bipartisanconcernsApril 20 2020

Ultimately BYD delivered state officials said the company accounts for 85 of the 300

million N95 respirators California has purchased to date

ldquoWe were having to sift through a lot of sketchy people but there were good actors too

and the state came out of it for the most part in a good placerdquo said Brian Ferguson a

spokesman for Newsomrsquos Office of Emergency Services

In the case of Advoque the company touted its California roots and its price point

offering to manufacture nearly 100 million N95 masks at $225 each mdash far below the $5

to $12 state officials were paying others as suppliers and middlemen cashed in on the

global shortage

But the deal quickly faltered

Advoque was supposed to deliver 40 million masks by July 31 2020 but only 6 million

arrived On Sept 10 company officials alerted the state that there were issues with its

masks They had failed federal filtration tests and the companyrsquos certification was



revoked meaning the masks could ldquono longer be manufactured assembled labeled

sold or distributed as a NIOSH approved productrdquo according to a press release from

Advoque at the time referring to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health

California officials issued a recall for all of the companyrsquos masks sent to healthcare

workers and essential employees who rely on the high filtration standards for

protection

Advoque agreed in 2021 to repay $187 million to taxpayers By last month when the

final installment was due the state had not received any money from the company

Due to Advoquersquos ldquofailure to make timely payments the state served a notice of defaultrdquo

Monica Hassan deputy director of the Office of Public Affairs at the Department of

General Services told The Times

In a statement the company said ldquoAdvoque Safeguard is continuing to work with the

State of California to reach a solution that is in the best interests of the State and its

citizensrdquo

Three companies are suing Advoque alleging that they too were sold faulty N95 masks

Two of the lawsuits allege that Advoque paid millions to its executives instead of

reimbursing customers Some companies cited Californiarsquos massive contract with

Advoque as an impetus for their own contracts

ldquoCaliforniarsquos deal to buy $90 million worth of Advoquersquos N95 masks was a stamp of

approvalrdquo said Joel Reese a Dallas lawyer representing Titus Group Inc in a case

against Advoque ldquoNow we are wondering how Advoque obtained that stamp of

approvalrdquo



Four months before the Advoque deal fell apart the same question asked by Reese was

raised by California legislators during a lengthy public hearing that examined the

collapse of the Blue Flame contract Top state officials did their best to explain what

happened and why

Yeersquos role however was never mentioned

Nearly 15 million deaths in the last two years were associated withCOVID-19 WHO says

MAY 5 2022 706 AM PT

LONDON mdash Nearly 15 million people were killed either by COVID-19 or by the

coronavirusrsquo impact on overwhelmed health systems in the past two years mdash more than

double the official death toll of 6 million the World Health Organization said Thursday

Most of the fatalities were in Southeast Asia Europe and the Americas

In a new report the United Nations agencyrsquos chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

described the figure as ldquosoberingrdquo saying it should prompt countries to invest more in

their capacities to quell future health emergencies



Scientists tasked by the WHO with calculating the actual number of COVID-19 deaths

between January 2020 and the end of 2021 estimated between 133 million and 166

million deaths that were either caused directly by the coronavirus or were somehow

attributed to the pandemicrsquos impact on health systems such as people with cancer

unable to seek treatment when hospitals were full of COVID patients

The figures are based on country-reported data and statistical modeling but only about

half of countries provided information The WHO said it wasnrsquot yet able to break down

the figures to distinguish between direct deaths from COVID-19 and others caused by

the pandemic but said a future project examining death certificates would probe this

ldquoThis may seem like just a bean-counting exercise but having these WHO numbers is so

critical to understanding how we should combat future pandemics and continue to

respond to this onerdquo said Albert Ko an infectious-disease specialist at the Yale School

of Public Health who was not linked to the WHO research

For example Ko said South Korearsquos decision to invest heavily in public health after it

suffered a severe outbreak of the virus MERS allowed it to escape COVID-19 with a per-

capita death rate around 5 of that of the US

lsquoWersquore now into our sixth waversquo Coronavirus gains in California spark newconcernsMay 4 2022

Accurate numbers on COVID-19 deaths have been problematic throughout the

pandemic as the figures represent only a fraction of the devastation wrought by the

coronavirus largely because of limited testing and differences in how countries count

COVID-19 deaths According to government figures reported to WHO and to a separate

count kept by Johns Hopkins University there have been more than 6 million reported

COVID-19 deaths to date

Scientists at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of

Washington guessed that there were more than 18 million COVID-related deaths from

January 2020 to December 2021 in a recent study published in the journal Lancet and

a team led by Canadian researchers estimated there were more than 3 million

uncounted coronavirus deaths in India alone The WHOrsquos new analysis estimated there

were more than 4 million missed deaths in India

Some countries including India have disputed the WHOrsquos methodology for calculating

COVID deaths resisting the idea that there were many more deaths than officially

counted

Earlier this week the Indian government released new figures showing there were

474806 more deaths in 2020 compared to the previous year but did not say how many

were tied to the pandemic India did not release any death estimates for 2021 when the

highly infectious Delta variant swept through the country killing many thousands

Ko said better figures from the WHO might also explain some lingering mysteries about

the pandemic such as why Africa appears to have been one of the regions least affected

by the virus despite its low vaccination rates

ldquoWere the mortality rates so low because we couldnrsquot count the deaths or was there

some other factor to explain thatrdquo he said adding that the crush of deaths in rich

countries like Britain and the US proved that resources alone were insufficient to

contain a global outbreak

Dr Bharat Pankhania a public health specialist at Exeter University in southwest

England said the world may never get close to the true toll of COVID-19 particularly in

poor countries

ldquoWhen you have a massive outbreak where people are dying in the streets because of a

lack of oxygen bodies were abandoned or people had to be cremated quickly because of

cultural beliefs we end up never knowing just how many people diedrdquo he explained

Although Pankhania said the estimated COVID-19 death toll still pales in comparison to

the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic mdash when experts estimate up to 100 million people died

mdash he said the fact that so many people died despite the advances of modern medicine

including vaccines is shameful

He also warned the cost of COVID-19 could be far more damaging in the long term

given the increasing burden of caring for people with long COVID

ldquoWith the Spanish flu there was the flu and then there were some [lung] illnesses

people suffered but that was itrdquo he said ldquoThere was not an enduring immunological

condition that wersquore seeing right now with COVID

ldquoWe do not know the extent to which people with long COVID will have their lives cut

short and if they will have repeated infections that will cause them even more

problemsrdquo Pankhania said
