Yeah its pretty wild to compare the rates of infection and mortality inside main land china with the rest of the world.
The high infection/death rates aren't showing up in the rest of the world. The interesting follow question is why?
It could be a number of things, my guess is a sampling issue. Given how secretive the Chinese govt is we'll likely never know.
- mobilefriendly 7y agoThe mortality rate in Italy is roughly the same as China. I think it is too early to make this claim. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...?

- bitreality 7y agoYou're grossly misinformed. The China outbreak was so strong initially because they had no idea what they were dealing with. The spread and infection is invisible for weeks. There are many people spreading Coronavirus as we speak without knowing a thing. Korea, Iran and Italy all have major outbreaks which only revealed themselves this week, but likely began 2-3 weeks prior. Iran has clearly no idea how many cases are in its country, its numbers are 15 deaths and <100 cases. That's over 15% death rate. Makes no sense compared to all other reported number, their real total cases are likely over 1000.
