One of the tremendous oddities appears to be the very high fatality rate in Hubei (~30%), but the much, much lower rates elsewhere (only 60 deaths worldwide, compared to about 2900 reported resolved cases).
It is SO discordant and remains so, that one wonders if something else is going on in Hubei - a different disease, or a purge of some sort. Yes, the health care system in Wuhan had collapsed, but there are many lesser health-care systems outside of China, and they don’t appear to be having those issues either.
The chicom leadership has to show that it’s limited the deaths to Hubei province. If they showed death rates equivalent to Hubei province in other provinces it would cause people to question whether or not CCP had things under control.
I take it on faith that the other provinces likely have a death rate similar to Hubei until proven otherwise.
Is there a page that shows something different than what is on the widely referred to Johns Hopkins page? On that page, they show for Hubei 48,206 confirmed cases, 1,310 deaths, just under 3% rather than 30%.
