What I don't understand is, why didn't President Trump get rid of this evil creep?
More than 267,000 excess infants deaths were reported worldwide in 2020 due to economic fallout from COVID-19, study suggests
A new study looked at GDPs for 128 low- and lower middle-income countries and the infant mortality rate per 1,000 children
An excess 267,000 infant deaths were reported in 2020, which is 7% higher than the 248,000 fatalities initially projected last year
The highest number of estimated excess infant deaths were seen in India, which had a total of 99,642
Researchers say the economic fallout likely led to malnutrition, lack of ability to access healthcare services and poor quality of these services

Hundreds of thousands of babies died last year due to the economic fallout from COVID-19, a new modeling study suggests.
Researchers from World Bank Group, a financial institution headquartered in Washington, DC, estimated that an extra 267,000 infant fatalities were reported n 2020 in low- and middle-income countries.
This is seven percent higher than the number of newborns that usually die in the course of a year.
The team says the findings emphasize the vulnerability of the youngest age group to economic downturns, such as those brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Past studies have examined indirect deaths caused by COVID-19, meaning not from the virus itself.
For example, one study found 75,000 Americans died indirectly due the pandemic such as delaying seeking life-saving medical care.
And preliminary figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that a record 93,000 people die from drug overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2020 due to the proliferation of fentanyl and the stress of the pandemic.
The new study examined the impact that countries' falling Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had on the survival of children up to 12 months old.
For the study, published in BMJ Open, the team looked at data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program, which is implemented by ICF International.
