#2 at this point almost everybody thinks the Chinese numbers are under counts

this is partly because they are short on virus testing kits so even if they wanted to be accurate they wouldn't be able to do that

also the death/infection ratio has stayed suspiciously steady through the past 10 days of reports which could mean the Chinese are fudging one (or maybe both) of the numbers in the ratio

#5 the death/infection ratio has stayed suspiciously steady through the past 10 days of reports which could mean the Chinese are fudging one (or maybe both) of the numbers in the ratio

Or it means that the quarantine works

#6 grom

there are multiple quarantines

every Chinese city in the infected area has one, every Chinese governate has one, every airport and seaport, etc.

and each quarantine is adjusted daily

#7 Other thing to keep in mind, these are just some the deaths they know about. How many bodies are stuck in apartments waiting to be collected I bet.
