I dunno if you’ve seen any of the undercover videos from the hospitals? It’s entirely possible there are hundreds of deaths that haven’t been recorded. Many deaths are being recorded with viral pneumonia as death as they don’t have enough test kits to verify and are therefore not attributed to this coronavirus.

Undercover videos. Played to much Plague Inc. lately? As long as numbers from the epicenter in Wuhan don't deviate to much from international WHO numbers I will not go by "it is possible that...". I don't argue the situation in Wuhan is horrible. But taking some individual cases from area hit worst and build some BS theories out of that, going against every expert opinion out there, is just conspiracy theory shit. And spreading panic.

The WHO numbers are the CCP numbers. Foreign nationals are not allowed in to confirm.

So all the youtubers arw able to counter proof them with videos people in other countries, without any relevant medical expertise, are analysing. Great. Now tell me, how exactly are the youtubers and people on Twitter getting the "true" numbers if China is censoring everything? And why do you refuse to accept that the Chinese figures do align pretty well with numbers from other countries? Or do the Chinese and the WHO conspire with all other governments as well to keep the "truth" hidden?

I'm not taking either side, only saying its a possibility. Given how egregious figures and "facts" from the CCP have been previously I trust them less than most. They made their reputation so they have to live with it.

Panic is - when your "independent" media, repeats propaganda nonsense word for word from chinese state media?

Test your information against samples from people with relations to ground-truth. Then you can panic.

Source being confirmed? Put into context?

But hey, you want to panic, go for it. But do it for yourself. Because now the "independent" media, the "propaganda" and the WHO numbers are more or less the same.
