No wonder stock market is tanking today.

If China is finally admitting 10,000, its probably in the millions.

(25,841 posts)5. Somehow I doubt that at this point the real number of sick
is that kind of order of magnitude greater than the official number. Higher, yeah. In no small part because not everyone getting sick has gone to a doctor. But millions? That many could not be hidden. Not even in China. In any case, a lot of people getting this simply aren't very sick at all, and so far 98% of them recover. Actually more, if the official death toll is correct and gloomy predictions of how many sick are also correct.
