Give it a rest. Good God you people are worse then the msm.
I think all published numbers for all countries are lower than reality, just because no testing system can be perfect.
As for China, I think they are purposely doctoring their numbers and making them lower than even the inaccurately low testing problem that exists everywhere.
No
Higher
I don’t believe the numbers in the US either. I think it is way higher but the kits were not available or defective
1. No
2. Higher
Is the sky green and the grass blue?
1. No
2. What difference does it make to how we respond?
They’ll lie about anything. It’s all about money.
no higher
I don’t think anyone believes the numbers China has been putting out there, the real figures are much higher.
1. Good news reported by China: divide by 10
2. Bad news reported by China: multiply by 10
PS - Italy reported 18 more deaths today.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Chinese numbers might be correct. Not because Xi Jinping is an honest man, but because the overwrought Chinese response might simply be Xi’s response to the pressures placed on him because of factional rivalries. Why does a quasi-emperor figure like Xi even have any pressures from the ant hill he bestrides? Isn’t he a queen ant, a living god who not only commands unconditional obedience, but the literal worship of the drones who live to kiss his feet and otherwise pay obeisance to His Awesomeness? For a long and complicated explanation, read this entry about the complicated dynamics that belie the surface calm of life at the top in China:

The deaths-to-cases ratio has remained relatively constant:
3.5% for Mainland China
1.5% outside of China
If China were fudging the numbers, then the cases outside of China would be exhibiting larger death-to-cases percentages. Of course, China has been ‘dealing’ with the contagion since late 2019.
No, only a fool would!
Forget China. Watch the numbers reported from Italy. Those quadrupled in about a week.
They supposedly have 40,000+ “recovered”.
Technically, once you’ve been incinerated, there’s no more trace of any virus in you so to the commies, that probably counts as recovered.
