These kinds of maps are really getting to me because all they show is where people are doing testing. Like does anyone think that really pretty much all of Africa and most of south America and Russia have avoided this thing? How in the world would that work?

It's the only data we have. I mean even in countries doing testing estimates are the actual infections are 20-30 times what we know.

I did see a report from a health minister in one of the only (if not THE only) countries to have zero confirmed cases. His straightforward explanation for why was: "We have zero testing kits."

No, health officials at the CDC and WHO are well aware that the death toll is much higher than this, but only official numbers are being reported. Russia, and China are absolutely hiding their real numbers, and then a whole bunch of development countries are just simply unable to report accurately. It also doesn't help that the World Health Organization is at least in on hiding China's numbers, and is giving completely false information to everyone based on what China wants them to say; no human to human contact of the virus is possible, China has had no cases or deaths for a week plus now, dont wear a facemask, etc.

Starting at 4pm today, there will be police checkpoints controlling in/out travel between 8 regions of the province of Quebec.

All non-essential travel forbidden.

City of Montreal soon to enact the same, they've been talking about doing it for a few days now. The island will be locked.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I think all officials are reporting just the facts they can confirm, but are trying to subtly tell the public that they know these numbers are way off. The death toll is probably more like 100,00+

It's cause they're small team sadly
"Note: Due to the high number of new cases, it may take several days before new locations appear on the map."

Fortunately they keep pretty good track on the numbers on the chart, the official ones anyway.

Also if you're interested, I posted something about Africa's chaos on the page 533.

I'm enjoying this new line of thinking I'm seeing proliferate online. The more the absolute failure of the US' response to the outbreak are lain bare, the harder we delve into conspiracy that the rest of the world must be lying about their own outcomes as if that somehow absolves us of our own sins.

Rapa Nui confirms second case of Covid-19

https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/412779/rapa-nui-confirms-second-case-of-covid-19

the article posted:

The president of Rapa Nui's indigenous Ma'u Henua community said the case was confirmed today following a first case two days ago.

Camilo Rapu said it was not known how the first person, a Chilean woman living on the island, contracted the illness as she had not been overseas or believed to be in contact with an infected person.

Mr Rapu said none of the woman's family was showing any symptoms.

Nothing was known yet about the second case as the community was in isolation.

The lockdown has caused frustration among many islanders over how long it took Chilean authorities to act after cases on the mainland.

Rapa Nui's mayor, Pedro Edmunds Paoa, who had called for the island's immediate isolation has been vocal in his criticism of Santiago's handling.

The Guardian reported Latam, which provides the island's only air link, suspended flights on Tuesday after evacuating all tourists.

Like many Pacific islands, Rapa Nui has no intensive care or Covid-19 testing facility and relies on mainland Chile for support.

Chill out, dude. I don’t think they were making excuses for the US, just noting how odd it is that parts of the world are reporting almost no cases.

Laf I'm perfectly happy to make excuses for the US though. Basically no western countries did any better at all. People just love on dunking on Trump, but apart from saying dumb poo poo he's done about as well as most. Of course he could still actually try to get the businesses running by easter which would be hilariously stupid. I think that's just more talk though.

That's new cases per day on the y-axis, right? For a second I was wondering if the scaling skew from that giant spike in mid-Feb would save the credibility of the Chinese reported numbers but nope no way.

Obvious hot take: trusting a freer society like South Korea is a better bet than trusting numbers out of China. Numbers in France, Spain, and Italy will be even closer to the numbers that we will see, and our outcomes should be worse for two reasons: 1) We don't have a healthcare system worth a drat, and 2) Donald John Trump is an idiot

Our only hope is Federalism, and that the governors of their respective states are capable of making better decisions than at the Federal level.
