There are so many other countries outside of china that have big problems that we can look to for that. China lies about the numbers. They, at gov't level, lie about what they're doing. It's just a giant headache. Now, before you paint me as an American jingoist (I read minds),

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

Not every country is going to have the same proportion of spread relative to a population. It depends on how early they detect clusters and how rigorously they exercise containment measures. -
Correct, but in the context of all the video evidence of bodies, people being welded into their homes, massive sprays, nationwide shutdowns, it's pretty obvious that the problem got worse in China than Iceland so far.

Of course, since China's had a raging infection longer than Iceland, their numbers could be higher than that! So...yeah, you're not right.

Oh man，be open mind like you said there is no need to hide number on purpose at all. why would China do that , it does’n make sense in my context but differ with yours. Think throughly you will get the numbers should analyze locally since different measures taken by countries
