This reasoning does not support the belief that China reports anything (COVID or non) accurately.It's China's best interest to maintain some type of transparency and credibility as it's economic recovery depends on it.
That's always been the party line. This is a whole new ball game and they know it. Party leaders in Wuhan were reprimanded for their actions (or lack thereof) and this was openly reported. The government allowed the frustration and discontent to be publicly shown when the virus at Wuhan was at it's peak. At this point they have no reason to hold back any information, if anything transparency helps them. Funny though, S. Korea has taken the same steps as China and they seemed to have stabilized the outbreak and their numbers per capita are similar to China.This reasoning does not support the belief that China reports anything (COVID or non) accurately.
China's reporting ethos: "All news about China must be good. All references to good things must praise the Communist government."
afaik he go in France, or better he fled to France

Please don't make this political - I'm going by numbers. Read my post at the beginning of this thread.They are trying to paint themselves as ultra-efficient and trying to set a contrast with the "incompetent" west, therefore their lackeys at the WHO already declared Europe the new epicenter after lavishing praise on the Chinese dictatorship... always remember that the WHO REFUSED to name the virus to prevent it from casting any shade in China and also refused to declare a pandemic because China would have been blamed, now they are claiming all is ok there, just fine see? All the mess is in the west, we controlled the virus here, if it became a mess it is your own fault... all hail China.
Korea was FAR more proactive and effective than China, not even close.

You may be correct. I took the number from a BBC article Is S Korea's rapid testing the key to coronavirus?South Korea did in all 261 thousands test at 14th March, maybe140 th. for week is a bit exaggerated
I agree... basically we're seeing people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The problem is we're not getting accurate information.The Plague was going through the desert and encountered a caravan . . . . "Why did you say you are going to take 1000 lives, when you took 50000 of them?" - caravan leader asked.
"No." - the Plague replied - "I did take 1000 lives, the rest of them were taken by Fear."
Yeah, the numbers are wildly higher, and the sky didn't fall, and all hell didn't break loose. I know two people who actually got it (one just had a bad flu, the other was nearly incapacitated).
Where do you get 99% isopropyl alcohol?I just mixed up a batch of hand sanitiser for some family members.
It's just a mixture of 99% isopropyl alcohol and aloe gel. Many model makers will already have the alcohol, I've got almost a litre of the stuff and the gel is till readily available.
