Chinaโs numbers look increasingly suspect to me. Letโs start with the fact that China has about 1.4 billion people while the U.S. has 327.2 million. ...
... This means the U.S. population is about 23โ
% of China's, which is another way of saying China's population is 428% of the U.S.โs, or that China has more than 4ยผ times as many people as the U.Sโwhichever way helps you think about it best. ...
... Okay, now: as of March 26, the U.S. officially passed up China in its number of confirmed cases. So, the day before yesterday, the U.S. had 4,058 more cases, or 4.96% more, than China did. ...
... But as of yesterday, March 27, we had 18,163, or 21% more cases than China did. And over those 24 hours, confirmed cases in the U.S. increased 21.93% while confirmed cases in China increased only 5.77%. ...
... So, this means that the U.S. as not only passed up China in confirmed cases, but if the trend continues, our number of confirmed cases will increase exponentiallyโwhich is whatโs normally expected to happen at this stage in a pandemicโ ...
...while Chinaโs appears to be slowing down.
On top of that, supposedly Italy (population: 60.5 million) not only now has 4,552 more confirmed cases than China (Italy: 86,498; China: 81,946), but Italyโs total deaths blows Chinaโs out of the water. ...

... Italy reports 9,134 deaths, 5,835 more, i.e., 177% higher, than Chinaโs 3,299 reported deaths. Of course, Italyโs death toll also blows the U.S.โs out of the water even though the U.S. has nearly 5ยฝ times Italy's population.
But...Chinaโs numbers...really? ...
But...Chinaโs numbers...really? ...
... Perhaps they are now telling the truth. They certainly werenโt telling the truth in December and January, and the World Health Organization was also complicit in its negligence to seek verification of what China was reporting at that time, ...
... so all this tends too increase suspicion that China has rehired its favorite PR person, Rosie Scenario, to scrub its numbers for both internal and external consumption. ...
... Perhaps thereโs a legitimate explanation for all this, and maybe weโll learn that China really and truly did get a handle on the spread of COVID-19 and weโll all be glad for themโwell, kindaโ, depending on how draconian or even cruel their methods may turn out to be. ...
... But in the meantime, Iโm...
...Just sayinโ.
