I wouldn’t be surprised. Our government has always been corrupt, especially in times like these.

I wouldn't be surprised, theres also the issue of people not self reporting - they brush off their symptoms as a bad cold or the flu and dont get properly diagnosed

Oh no, only at worst a 95% chance I'll die

Actually less than 1% since im vastly under 60

Coronavirus death's rate is predicted to be around 1% after all it's said and done, UK officials say

Whether they want to or not...the numbers we have are only for people who actually seek medical treatment...I'm sure there are thousands who have it and just are staying home and  not reporting they're sick out of fear of being ostracized or quarantined or losing money on the job or missing school etc...

Even a friend of mine I havent seen in a while wanted to hang out this weekend but complained they have been sick with a "lingering cough that wont go away"...I was like :wtfga:

Probably. We're only now getting testing kits made more widely available, though realistically, we probably still don't have enough. 

Also, we have a bunch of college kids about to go on spring break. I'm sure there will be a huge spike after that, especially once more people are tested. But more people having the virus is a good thing if the number of deaths remains the same, because it lowers the mortality rate.

In the US, many of us don't go to the doctor and report our illnesses unless we desperately need to. There are probably hundreds of infections where the people are either staying home and not reporting, or in denial of their "allergies" and going to work anyways

Yes. I don’t think it’s intentional though. Just a consequence of this administration’s incompetence. Hospitals don’t have tests so they can’t report cases. The death rate is also higher in the US because of the nursing home in Washington state that got hit.

Or because they are legitimately asymptomatic and don't know they have the disease or have mild symptoms and think it's justt a regular flu. Many medics actually pointed this out from the start.

There are 210 cases in Switzerland alone and we're a 8mill country so I think the US might be, not sure how much it has spread over there

I think what's equally or more important are the hate crimes against Asians happening around the world regarding the Coronavirus. Specially in the US it's been getting out of control. And of course no one is going to report on it. Or the fact that the common flu has killed around 18-40k people in the USA since 2019 and hospitalized hundreds of thousands. 

That being said, the Coronavirus still must be taken seriously, but I think people are going way overboard.
