“ They almost certainly aren’t, but anything else is pure supposition and, therefore, useless.”
If you don’t accept them as facts, why use them as if it is true info?
Isn’t it just as useless to pretend the numbers from China are true?
According to the Johns Hopkins tracker that means the following:
Total infected globally (after about 4 months of nearly unhindered exposure among a population of 6.6 billion): 75,405
Total dead: 2,633 (mortality rate of 3.5%)
Total recovered: 7,037 (9.6% of all surviving infected)
Doesn't exactly strike me as the Black Death redux.
