Why do people still believe the numbers out of Hubei? That’s alarmingly naive. Once the health care system in Wuhan collapsed the numbers became entirely meaningless. Even if you believed the numbers from the CCP prior to them completely cutting off Wuhan. Which no sensible person did.
I don’t believe the numbers out of Hubei at all. I think the rate of infection is at least 5X if not 10X to 20X the reported numbers. There is evidence of this in thousands of people being turned away from the hospitals and sick people on social media not even going to hospitals.
Its harder to fake the death numbers, though. China is a backwards communist country but there is no evidence that the death numbers are 5X, 10X or 20X the numbers China has reported.
If it was killing people less than 40 and China was dumping 1,000’s of bodies into mass graves 1918 style, somebody would notice.
