How you measure changes a lot of things.

It seems to me that China measured exactly opposite the way Italy and Spain (must be) measuring.

However, it is important to measure into the general population of "suspected" maybe/maybe not infected people and get some recovery data. Not all, but some. It is as if Italy and Spain are measuring only those more or less that are "serious/critical" and that does not do any justice to the general population.

-- if you try to test everybody, you have the problem of (How many times?), not infected today but maybe tomorrow or in a few hours on your way home in the bus...

I would hope China reported real death numbers, even if only 1/2, still "fine". I'm talking about the vast difference in total recovered...

Lrock, Is China's data unreliable in your opinion?
