Also consider that the released numbers in Europe might be more correct than other ( eg. non western) statistics.
Not many authoritarian regimes would submit the actual numbers ( undercounting), while eg. Belgium prefers overcounting.
Ps. This is not saying non-western = bad. I'm saying some prefer to lie or don't have the resources to do that much testing.
I perfectly believe that eg. South African stats was spot on and could be better than some European countries. Since that's a country i was following the last months.
- wreath 5y agoOvercounting is equally lying too though, no? It makes the situation look worse than what it actually is, and potentially use that as a pretext for certain measures. Just say it as it is Bob!
- NicoJuicy 5y agoOvercounting is counting a suspected COVID related death as a COVID death in statistics. They were very clear about how they counted upfront. So i don't consider it lying. Statistics don't say everything if you don't know what they stand for (obligatory: see my profile slogan) Ps. In this case, it was not hidden.
