Obviously didn't mean it like that. I meant it in the context of the following statement. What's the point of following Chinese data if we can just use another country's.

Counts not the same thing as ratios...any epidemiologist would tell you that unless you do population wide testing no one is going to have accurate counts. That doesn’t mean the numbers are “BS”.

No one’s counts are accurate for actual number of cases because no one’s done population wide epidemic survey yet. That’s why we look at ratios, because they give us idea of whether sampling is biasing up or down. If you’re deliberately fudging numbers makes no sense to bias up.

Actually, Iceland has come very close. They have tested more than any other country on a per capita basis (~3.5% of population). They have 1086 cases and a population of 375,000, which would put a China equivalent number at a little more than 4 million. 3.5% is enough.pic.twitter.com/DnzNgEQZLD
