Here's why the data on #CoronavirusOutbreak is severely underreported: #China is manipulating data of confirmed #WuhanCoronavirus cases through limiting the issue of Coronavirus diagnosis kits to hospitals.
Only those tested + w/ Coronavirus kit are noted as a confirmed case.
Without confirmation via kit, the patient's medical record in says "viral pneumonia," not "new coronavirus pneumonia."
Kit is only given depending on your condition, and very rarely "wasted" on already dead victims, so the reported mortality rate is very low.
