Actually they're not my figures, they are from the April 24th stats at the WHO website.

That said, I believe your figures [As in the figures POSTED by you, not necessarily the figures OWNED by you -- get it? :-) ] are inaccurate and understate the problem.

For example, as of yesterday, Singapore, where I have a home and family members -- and whose authoritarian "government" is also pretty secretive -- acknowledged nineteen deaths and more than 500 victims.

And China [Including once-FRee-British Hong Kong] is estimated to have several thousand cases.
