Three days ago, the Chinese government reported 1,771 new cases. That was a surge from the previous day, when they reported 769 new cases. So, when the number of new cases fell two days ago to 1,459, it seemed that perhaps that surge was perhaps an artifact of reporting. For instance, maybe some sources had been quicker in reporting new cases than they had been previously. But they yesterday, the number of new cases remained below that peak, 1,732.
Clearly, the epidemic still represents a grave threat. It would be insane to declare the crisis over. But since the news media reports chiefly hysteria and alarmism, I thought it very worthwhile to point some balancing data.
Remember, they may be somewhat modern day, but they are born and bred Chinese, with saving face and all that.
virus covers all of china ... ccp will never release real numbers any judgments made using Chinese released numbers is worthless
