If the truth about the total number of infections were to be reported, then the mortality rate would be revealed to be extremely low (like normal human influenza) and the media/government would no longer have a story.

You made some good points earlier in your post but then shot it all to hell in your closing statement when you somehow claim to know the underlying statistics (no one does). :-).

You are free to not use your brain, but as hundreds (thousands) of cases continue to pile up with very few/no deaths it will become obvious to you as well. This is a completely overhyped and manufactured crises.
