“Source, please?”
He was quoting my post, and my source IS the CCP’s numbers as reported through JHU. These are public numbers that anyone can find, so if you are just looking now, let’s not go all the way back to the beginning and make us re-explain them when you can just read the various posts available right here.
However, those numbers are now a few days old and the mortality rate has dropped under 25%. And, yes, we all know that the Chinese have a history of lying about these things to save face. And the source does not update all the data at the same time, so derived numbers can be less accurate.
The good news is that outside of China it appears we have containment. But things are pretty bad in China, still, and containment can fail or perhaps we haven’t identified all the possible infected. So continue to be vigilant, but there isn’t any need to panic.
CCP?
JHU?
I read all your corona virus posts going back three days.
You never give the raw numbers on “resolved” cases. You just keep saying 29% dead.
China started posting the infected and dead numbers four weeks ago. The death toll was 2.5% on their first post. The China death toll has hovered consistently around 2% since that first post.
Even if China is now lying, why are we not seeing this 29% death toll on cruise ships and in other countries?
I think you have misplaced a decimal point, and you are too vain to admit it.
