Another point he made
“The US population is close to 330 million, meaning our incidence rate so far is 1 in 330,000, about 1/20th of China’s rate. In other words, if our incidence rate grew to match China’s before leveling off, we would get to about 20,000 cases

The China numbers are fake....

but he is correct...a better way to compare cases is number of cases per million people in each country not the total raw case counts
...

PS Europe in trouble if you do it that way

The China numbers are fake....

Are South Korea's numbers fake too?
Cause they have an even lower death rate than China, at just 0.75% and the incidence of new infections has sharply dwindled too. Plus they have tested huge numbers there as well.
