Some here mention that possible cases are different than confirmed cases and she made an error.
If you know the Belgian story and the "big" amount of cases. Then you should know the country lists "suspected cases" as cases in every metric.
So while the number for Belgium looks a lot higher, since a lot of "other causes than COVID" are listed as cases in contrary to other countries.
We are one of the few that overestimate their cases, but we also don't need to verify the suspected cases as confirmed cases ( + put effort in that).
Probably every other country "undercounts" their cases.
This also led to the faulty conclusion of 'president T.' that Belgium is doing bad, informed observers would have known that is not correct to say :)
