#1 there are several protocols for counting deaths by Wu

CDC, WHO, Johns Hopkins, Worldometer

even worse, each counter will sometimes retroactively change past numbers

This isn't entirely political. There are problems in testing. There are times when no testing is done. There are times when multiple causes are present.

A mess.
