I agree geochem, we can not trust the numbers from China. I say that only because of their insistent need to spin things to their favor. Not that I have any idea on their reporting of this particular crisis. Their test rates verses ours verses the rest of the world. There are so many unknowns. But the same is true for the current USA executive's reporting. So, we're left wading through a morass of information that will take a long time to be sifted through. And still, even if we agree it's all vague and only relative, we still see a very disturbing pattern in the USA's lead in all things, except containment, as measured by world wide statistic..
If people can't stomach Rachel I would hope they'd find that University of Oxford site useful.

I am just amazed how we, the USA, is leaving the rest of the world behind. In every way we are turning COVID-19 into something so much worse than the rest of the world. So much worse than it has to be.
And while I don't agree with authoritarian governments, I think our freedoms have left us unprepared to live without guidance in the face of these types of dangers. Guidance our current administration is wholly incapable of providing.
