In that case it would appear the numbers used for your comments are very susceptible to the widely reported attempts by China to manipulate what is externally reported.
- Taniwha 6y agoIf China had deaths on the same per-capita as the US has had so far they would have had almost half a million - do you really think they are hiding that many?

- mlthoughts2018 6y agoIt doesn’t matter what I think, this is a widely reported possibility with recent articles from both the Times and the Guardian. Serious reporters at least believe there’s evidence of interference and possible data manipulation by China. Basically the only thing we can conclude is that the numbers from China are suspect & not comparable with those reported by western nations until more investigation is done. Maybe it will turn out China was right all along, we just don’t have reason to think that right now.
