every country will under report even if they're really trying not to; reporting accurate up-to-date information would consume resources that could be used to protect life. obviously every country wants to under report for propaganda purposes but there's definitely not going to be a country sacrificing lives to report accurate info

Well I was skeptical at first to be honest, but we are only 850 deaths away from hitting 5,000 by tonight and that confirms the 3 day doubling rate...

So perhaps it will be 10,000 by Saturday night.

that's been my assumption

it's being nefarious when the Chinaman does it, but it's just due to market forces when good, capitalistic Western countries dramatically under-test and under-report.

there's not enough testing or accurate enough testing to actually know what the scale of the pandemic is

it will take years. We should probably be including any ILI like deaths in their own category of potential coronavirus deaths right now.

This company does make ventilators! But that ain't it.

these are old machines that cost about 750 dollars when they were the new, best thing about 10 years ago

thank you hero elon musk for your donation of, at absolute most, 30 grand worth of cpaps

So it looks like they're going to test a random sample of 5000 people in Prague to see what the actual infection rate is, probably next week. This should be very interesting, knowing what the infection and hospitalization rates would be very important for accurately modeling the various scenarios. I'm guessing the infection rate would be of course higher than what the currently known cases suggest, but still pretty low. Even if we assume it's 100% in northern Italy, here it'd have to be like 10% to explain the much lower deaths (unless BCG or something else explains it).

No good news from New York unfortunately.

edit: I think it’s very likely the USA crosses 5,000 total deaths today and sees 1,000+ deaths in the last 24hrs.
