Well, if your statement is correct, then this actually lowers their death rate, the CFR (Case Fatality Ratio). They reported 81,285 cases. So, 81,285 + 43,000

Well, if your statement is correct, then this actually lowers their death rate, the CFR (Case Fatality Ratio).
They reported 81,285 cases. So, 81,285 + 43,000 = 124,285 cases.
And 3287 deaths. So, that’s a 2.64% death rate.
At these numbers, and with the virus now worldwide, I think China’s numbers are now irrelevant. It’s better to begin focusing our energies on mitigation and containment.
