EiTB reported that in the Basque Autonomous Community ("Euskadi", sic) 6 more people died on the last day from coronavirus. You will know if there are deaths in Navarre or how many in the afternoon. To find out how many deaths there are in Euskal Herria, we will find out that the Berria newspaper has not updated its statistics, since it must be trusted to count the amounts of Iparralde. However... even after the end of the day, we will not know how many of these 6 new deaths in the CAV have occurred in Álava, how many in Bizkaia and how many in Gipuzkoa. Because the Basque Government has been hiding that fact from us... since 14 May.

For example, in the province where I live, in Gipuzkoa, a single person has not died since 14 May. That's why people are going to walk so quiet down the street. The Basque newspaper, which each morning conditions the humor of the Gipuzkoans, points out in the header of its website at this time (14:00) that "the territory seven consecutive days without incidents corresponds to the Basque Country is added a slight rebound with 12 cases and six deaths". Because, yes, the Basque Government announces in detail the number of cases that every day – that is, very few – have tested positive for COVID-19. Therefore, we have 14 days without deaths and with less and less positive results in Gipuzkoa.

These Basques are incredible, because with their eyes closed they manage to destroy the reality at their ends. A little! On May 13, ARGIA informed readers that the coronavirus killed 1 person in Álava, 9 in Bizkaia, 3 in Gipuzkoa and 1 in Navarra. Until that day, 355 deaths have been recorded in Álava, 806 in Bizkaia, 281 in Gipuzkoa and 494 in Navarre. And we count that Álava for every million inhabitants suffered 1,070 deaths, Bizkaia 699, Gipuzkoa 388 and Navarra 755. In general, including the 10 deaths in Iparralde, Euskal Herria was the country with 613 deaths per million.

In fifteen days, the 1,946 deaths have become the Basque Country until noon today in 2,033 people, and the 613 per million in more than 640. But we cannot tell our readers how many deaths there are in Álava, in Bizkaia, in Gipuzkoa, in everything, in millions. Anyone who has lost a family member or friend will have to hide their grief even more, in Álava they will forget that the Lombadia is not so far from the terrible, in Bizkaia they will not know that most of the deaths have happened in their surroundings and the Gipuzkoans are happy to see how many thousands of new infections have appeared in Russia.

Why do the authorities deny the public the basic information? And how do we Basques accept it? It's curious.
