#3 I’ve been watching this site since its inception. Data for other countries other than China may be reasonably accurate. However China’s data is suspect. That skews the overall site data ito a very low value.

#4 What's the best guess as to the real #'s for China?

#5 What's interesting is that everyone is reporting about 2% mortality rate. However, Iran is almost 10% mortality. That'll have the turbans spinning.

#6 Mortality rate is definitely widely different in developed vs 3rd world countries.

Chronic pollution damaged lungs, smokers, drug abusers, lack of good medical care, etc. are showing to have a huge spike in COVID-19 deaths. Developed nations with free flow of information and good health and health care have a much lower mortality rate.

We will see Africa, the ME and Asia get hammered with deaths while Western Europe and the US have lower rates.

#7 Lex--My guess from the 24/7 operation of crematory operation in the Wuhan area and acquiring of more portable units, that the mortality numbers are 10 times what the Chinese say. There is some really bad sh*t going down over there and it's not from bat meat.

#9 It takes advantage of a bodys already weakened condition.
Westerners are far more healthy as a whole.

#10 We will see Africa, the ME and Asia get hammered with deaths while Western Europe and the US have lower rates.
