Iran and China must have had a conference call....If you stop testing, your cases drop!
China CANNOT be trusted! PERIOD! Therefore, their numbers are MEANINGLESS!
IMHO- Before all is said and done, China will become engulfed by this virus, which will be described as a second wave, when in fact, it is just a maturation of the initial outbreak, coming into full bloom.
The only numbers that count, are OUR numbers, and numbers from any allies that we TRUST.
Having said that, I appreciate your posting of the graph, and a hat tip to ol’ snake eater- Travis McGee.
More rapid death increase in Italy, Spain and US compared with China are probably due to both a more complete shutdown possible in an autocratic country, as well as a greater ability and desire to hide embarrassing statistics.
