They will use Chinese numbers to ‘prove’ a high death rate then attack you when you attempt to use the very same numbers they cite.
Yes they’ll quickly cite a Chinese scientist as well, if it props up their extremely doomer position. It is exactly like arguing with a climate change zealot.

Amen! +1000!
There are two conflicting claims by the corona-doomers. One is they say believe the China case numbers because the it means the mortality is high. Second they say don't believe the Chinese mortality numbers because it makes the mortality higher.
Another trick is to use mortality versus recovery. Recovery is rising much more rapidly than mortality so that ratio has dropped from over 100% to 10% and is still dropping. They will be into a new argument long before it reaches 2 or 3%.
Of course we should believe nothing from China. But the rates outside of China are low except in poorly monitored areas like Iran where the cases are not being discovered. My view is 2% is serious and we need to stop the spread as quickly as possible regardless of how fast it spreads.
