So, if China has stopped reporting any new cases, and now a Russian has a confirmed case near the China border, and Taiwan is fudging numbers, and Canada if fudging numbers...

Probably means it's out of control, that's my guess, and nobody's going to report numbers any more.

From the beginning, though, the numbers were suspicious...we've never had any accuracy for various reasons. That just leads me to think worst-case scenario for the fall.

You are most likely correct. The best we can do is watch it and learn all we can from what little they will tell us.

I think cheating and fudging are universal. Take Germany for example, rarely if ever do they report a 'probable' case until AFTER s/he recovers.

And the U.S. still has 32 VERY sick patients it seems, as that number is refusing to come down. It's been considerably longer than the worldwide 'average number of days till recovery'. Several of them must be near death and kept alive by extreme measures.

And I don't have much confidence in that Kaiser Permanente SARS situation either. That organization was the WORST!!!
