Yeah, I guess my point is that we could be missing thousands/tens of thousands of Chinese/Iranians who didn’t make it into the “official count” because they were rural and didn’t’ go to the hospital/clinic to be counted. Some of those recover & some die at home but neither make the “list”. Like the flu in the USA...most people “tough it out” and don’t go to the doctor/hospital so the count is always “approximate”. I am sure the CDC/government “mortality rate” formula is way more scientific than mine/ours. ;-)
True. Thanks for the comments.
CDC...trust them ha good one. They have tested 426 people as of today. Doctors have been asking to have tests run on pneumonia patients who test negative for flu and have been refused due to the “guidelines” which are available on the CDC web page. A quick glance shows one glaring problem they expressly prohibit testing of patients who could have got exposed through community spreading from a nonChinese vector, perhaps like BC with a person from Iran, or Italy or Korea or Japan who themselves was not certified by the glorious CDC. So if a Iranian or Japanese or Korean comes in which thousands per day are and infects an American that American will be denied the test by the CDC guidelines that’s why we have “57” cases they flat out are not testing for it. Can’t panic the people have to keep the spending in the economy you know. Korea has tested 40,000 and published the results by location even they have a phone app to show said locations that’s transparency.
