If the Chinese are lying on their numbers the world may be f’d although South Korea and other Asian countries give us hope.
Wiggins doesn’t understand that death rate lags behind infections. So if infections are growing constantly it can look like a . 2% death rate but be much much higher. So 1% of people infected today could die but the overall death rate looks like it’s only .2% because deaths mags infections. I posted a whole details post with numbers in some thread yesterday.
Wiggo full understand that. What most people don't understand is he thrives on being a contrarian. 100% guarantee if the rest of us were saying "it's just the flu, bro!" he would be up in arms telling us all how serious this is.
And the Chinese are very VERY clearly lying about something. It's not possible a virus could suddenly stop spreading when 5 million residents of Wuhan left before the quarantine went into effect. They are trying desperately to save their economy and save face with their own people.
