1. While a lot of that can be attributed to lack of leadership

It's also fair to point out that some countries haven't been reporting accurately, either through inability or malice. And in others the pandemic is just starting to ramp up.

3. On the other hand, I doubt that USA is reporting accurately. I expect the death toll to be higher.

We are still not testing enough, and distribution of tests is spotty.

If a patient in Coronavirus, TX dies from respiratory failure, but has never been tested, does it count?

If a person dies in their home, and has not been tested, does it count?

5. Same with diabetes. Did they die of diabetes or virus?

Who knows. Guess up to the doctor.

4. Lots of countries with BS numbers

Last thing I want is for republicans to throw that back at us and say 60 percent of the deaths in the United States are from New York, New Jersey and Michigan. Why? Other states are not providing accurate numbers. Same thing with the BS country numbers.

6. We'll never know the truth from China. n/t

7. Or from this WH.

With numbers like these, no wonder there is a cover-up of data and results.

8. At least in the US

reporters are there to do fact checking without risk of being imprisoned or shot.
