...I think their goal is to fool the WHO into lifting the travel restrictions.
China's lying- very bad: flat out denial of any new cases in the outlands
Taiwan's lying- not quite so bad: just hiding 1300 cases under the 'suspected' category.
- China's 'official' numbers in the charts and their recent 'improvements' are bogus.
- They abruptly stopped ALL REPORTS of NEW 'PROBABLE' cases in most places (besides Beijing) about 3 weeks ago.
Here are some examples...
Inner Mongolia (province) - TOTAL 'probable' case count
Jun 02 (284 TOTAL 'probable' cases) April 28 (114 TOTAL 'probable' cases)
[abrupt change occurred May 10]
Guandong (province) - TOTAL 'probable' case count
Jun 02 (1511 TOTAL 'probable' cases) April 28 (1395 TOTAL 'probable' cases)
[abrupt change occurred May 10] ...vertical scale = 1350 to 1520
Tianjin (municipality) - TOTAL 'probable' case count
Jun 02 (175 TOTAL 'probable' cases) April 28 (43 TOTAL 'probable' cases)
[abrupt change occurred May 14]
Shanxi (province) - TOTAL 'probable' case count
Jun 02 (448 TOTAL 'probable' cases) April 28 (243 TOTAL 'probable' cases)
[abrupt change about May 14] ...vertical scale = 200 to 450
The only way these graphs could flat-line SO ABRUPTLY is China cheating
on their reporting, and to stop reporting any new SARS cases as 'probable'.
