Coronavirus: Yemen in denial about COVID-19 - and worse still, there's a fog of mystery over how many are dying

"There's no corona in Yemen," one man tells us as others gather around, nodding in agreement. "There's no corona at all… People are lying. They're liars."
In the Old City's quat sector, where they sell the addictive leaves which 90% of Yemen's population chew daily, we find a people in utter denial about the potentially deadly virus.
And there's a firm belief here that quat - which gives the user an amphetamine "high" - can help ward off the crippling disease.
"Whenever you get a temperature and tiredness, you chew some quat and you get better," one man tells us.
