Yeah totally agreed with that -> skus the numbers. It's hard because to some extent ALL the numbers are that way. Some states are testing more, some less, some are ignoring those who don't need hospitalization, Italy counts you as a corona death if you died while having corona whether that's what killed you or or not, China's numbers a lie, Russia surely lying but also surely better off than many for having closed the border, South Korea tested all over the place.

No number is a reliable number. You almost have to just isolate one population, whether it be a city or a country -> whatever makes that population consistently counted for the most part ... and then look at the curve pattern ... and then ultimately (except really for Italy) ... look at the death curve ... but that doesn't even show up for a couple/few weeks.

Well, if nothing else, we’ll all end up learning a little about epidemiology because of this, if nothing else.
