Re: Corona Virus: Does anybody believe the official Chinese death toll stats? Personally, given the extreme quarantine measures and photos and videos of empty streets in Wuhan, I'd guess the situation is more serious than a mere ~80 deaths.

Every year in the US about 6000 people die of the flu. In China, with a population 3.5X larger than the US the number of flu deaths must be near 20k per annum.

The contrast between the public health measures to contain Corona vs. flu virus in China raises serious doubts in my mind about the veracity of official reports.

The more you know, the less you don't know.
