No one in Bangladesh believes Bangladesh's low death number. I live here. Freedom of the press is non-existent (al-most all press/media is owned by government party). There are actual laws that say that you can't say anything against the government online (many have been prosecuted for this).

There is literally only 1 party - all other parties are destroyed, their members arrested or banned, jailed on real or fake cases.

Bangladesh's health care has been horrible even before the pandemic. Air pollution is extremely high. We don't have the infrastructure to handle so many patients - private hospitals are having a hard time handling patients. Public hospitals are even worse. Central oxygen is almost non-existent, lack of proper PPE, masks or proper testing. They only recently started ramping up tests - but the numbers are still very low.

Even with all the hiding and misinformation by the government, the official number is still climbing at an alarming rate.
