The data has come at a time when there is unrest in the country amid reports of an unusual hike in the death ratio.
Several media outlets have reported citing Edhi foundation sources that they transported nearly 400 dead bodies during the past two weeks in Karachi. The welfare organization usually transfers 80 to 100 dead bodies a month.
The KMC data paints an even grimmer picture. It says that the emergencies of government hospitals in Karachi received nearly 11,000 cases during the first three months of 2020. The fatality rate among those was 1.12 as 121 of them died on arrival.

Edhi is saying its higher than usual and there should be an investigation about it.
Average Death ratio for Karachi City is 2300/Month, so comparing to that, its very less.
Is that a good sign?
