Panama reports 1,755 cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours
In the last 24 hours, Panama registered a total of 1,755 new cases of COVID-19, raising the number of infections to 160,287, according to the Ministry of Health of Panama.
Deaths from the virus in the country increased to 3,018, after accounting for 16 new deaths. The case fatality rate is at 1.9%.
In the last 24 hours, 10,973 tests were carried out to detect coronavirus, for a positivity percentage of 16.0%.
There are a total of 140,976 recovered patients.
According to the epidemiological report of the Minsa, active cases add up to 15,243, that total there are 14,563 in home isolation and 680 in hotels; while 1,050 patients are hospitalized, of them 898 in ward and 152 in intensive care.
According to the age group, patients between 20 and 59 years of age continue to be the most affected in terms of contagion, however, most deaths correspond to those over 60 years of age.
NOTE:
Some critics have argued that the Minsa reported case fatality rate (number of COVID linked deaths / number of known cases) in reality should be much lower, as the number of reported cases does not necessarily reflect the truth, as the testing does not cover the whole population, and many cases go undetected. At the same time, the government can't report what they don't know, but readers should note that the numbers may tell a different story from the reality.
Also, how a "COVID death" is counted is also unclear, as many of the deaths correspond to underlying previous conditions, such as cancer, blood diseases, other age related diseases etc., and are reported as COVID deaths since the patient also had the coronavirus. On the other hand, many viruses are known to lower the patient's immunity and expose them to other diseases. As an example most HIV/AIDS patients don't die from the virus itself, but from other derived diseases such as pneumonia or regular flu.
There have also been reports on the inaccuracy of the PCR test, which would highly compromise any figures mentioned above.
In lack of better information sources, PanaTimes continues to report the government (Minsa) announced figures. Readers are adviced to use their own judgement.

Not that it's needed, because every objective observer already knows this, but just to further prove the fact this entire drama is a psyop, the objectives of which have been copiously enumerated by independent doctors and researchers worldwide, Johns Hopkins published a report just yesterday Nov 26 which they were forced to remove by the powers that be; and why? Because it reveals there are no more deaths in the U.S. in 2020 than in any average year. Folks, you CANNOT have a pandemic if there are no more than the usual number of people are dying. Here's a link the Johns Hopkins article which is now only available through the Wayback Machine.

FACT 99.999822% of the world is living after Covid19 been around for nearly a year or more!!! In countries through severe lockdowns they have destroyed businesses and caused massive losses of jobs based on the real number of those dying calculated globally at ONLY 0.000178 have died (with some saying less if you only calculate deaths attributed solely to coronavirus), that is 99.999822% of the population is left living, do those numbers justify the pain, suffering and destruction of humanity, destruction of businesses, destruction of the economy through authoritarian draconian governmental actions? Forget the fraudulent “New Cases” mass hysterical terror based on 97% false positive PCR tests and focus on the reality, is any of this justified and does it need to be investigated for the crimes happening? The average age of death in Germany is 81 years with COVID which is no different from the flu, does that justify the actions taken against humanity and harm done to all as well as the mass death by starvation? Why are we allowing a few to create hysteria instead of allowing the truth to be exposed and cures to be used? Before people start saying those numbers cannot be real. All I did was take total deaths globally https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries divided by 7.8 billion total population to get the REAL NUMBERS instead of the endless hysterical terror. I don’t believe worldmeters numbers are correct as WHO has stopped reporting flu’s so magically they have gone with every other type of death.
