First of all, I don’t have a world is falling apart narrative. You shouldn’t think you know my narrative before I post it.
China isn’t reporting that many new cases. For example, as best I can determine there have been no new cases reported in Hubei since Mar. 18. Epidemics simply don’t die out that fast. Sure they are returning to work there, but there would still be some new cases.
In my book, failing to report cases and deaths is a form of lying.
