> Maybe they've been misclassifying COVID-19 as influenza or this has to do with their misreporting. We know that most countries have made this mistake, even if their intentions are good. We know that every authoritarian nation has intentionally misrepresented Covid cases in extreme ways. Russia for example was aggressively lying about their cases, claiming hospitalizations were pneumonia early on and not Covid. Eventually Russia was unable to maintain the lies, which is what happened in China's case as well (the lie gets overwhelmed). Back in early January The Wall Street Journal caught China lying about Covid deaths, they were putting pneumonia on the death certificates when they knew it was Covid. http://archive.is/PkRF5 http://archive.is/PkRF5
