The Lancet information comes entirely from Chinese health authorities.
When it was published, I think the death rate was still zero.
From memory - China reported its first death after about 60 confirmed cases.
From the beginning, the Chinese death toll has held close to 2.5% of confirmed cases.
Are the Chinese being truthful and competent?
Scary question. No answer yet.

Weren't *you* the one who joked yesterday, that it was just that the guy who _reported_ the numbers, had died?
Gee, he has almost as little reason to minimize the effects of this as the CEO of Boeing, right?
Nope. But a few others did...

Hysteria would help him sells vaccines and remedies.
I meant the supply chain being all from China, destroying his ability to have any product to sell, just when America gets sicker than ever.
I think that was me. I have to work on my sense of humor.
