  • The Chinese government has deliberately underreported the total number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the country, the U.S. intelligence community told the White House, a new report says.
  • Bloomberg, citing three U.S. officials, reported Wednesday that the intelligence community said in a classified report that China’s public tally of COVID-19 infections and deaths is purposefully incomplete.
  • The secret report concludes that China’s numbers are fake, two of the officials said, Bloomberg reported. The White House received the report last week, according to the news outlet.

Are the new estimates "Classified Information"?

Apparently so.  Chinese government believes that "dead men don't tell."

Most countries give incorrect numbers-certainly the US were testing did not get started at a lot of places-so no testing no cases ! 

Here in the NL only tested cases end up in statistics [url]https://www.rivm.nl/en/current-information-about-novel-coronavirus-covid-19[/url] (DJ that is how it works during an outbreak !!!)

* The actual number of infections with the novel coronavirus is higher than the number mentioned here. This is because not everyone who may be infected is tested for the virus.
** There is a delay between the day on which a person dies and the day on which the death is reported.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
