I look at this pretty often to see what's going on.
China's numbers have 'stopped rising' for a while so I wouldn't believe their total.
I'm not surprised their numbers have stopped rising. Look at the recovery numbers on the graph. Going up. Given the Chinese governments have pulled no stops to contain this once they realised the shit had hit the fan (welding people into apartment complexes, forcably removing families for treatment etc), and that the vast majority of the population are now not going out or are wearing face masks etc, it is no wonder their numbers have peaked. I'm not a fan of their government and accept it was dreadfully slow and pathetically inept in it's handling of the matter.
I had a rant about this topic on another forum and am kind of repeating myself, but as the saying goes the standard of behaviour you walk past is the standard of behaviour you accept. I would say though educate yourselves. Coronavirus has killed less people in the world in about three months than two days worth of road related accident deaths in the world. Far fewer people in the world have been diagnosed infected by the corona virus than were hospitalised due to the
flu in 2018/2019 just in the USA (490,600 people). That's not all the people that had the flu. Thats just those hospitalised in ONE country. Deaths that season from flu in the USA were 34,200 people. Again, just ONE country and a western one to boot. The US flu season lasts about 5 months, so the majority of those stats occurred during that period. Even if we accept that 10 times the amount of people have the corona virus than the current diagnosed numbers (unlikely it is that high, but for the sake of the argument go with it), so just under a million people. That number too pails in comparison to the accepted estimation of the numbers of flu infections in the US last flu season (over 35 million, which is over 10% of the population).
Panic shopping for toilet paper etc and fear of others is base stupidity. Having a good thorough hygiene routines is always a good thing, especially aproaching winter (flu season), but no one normally panic buys toilet paper because winter is coming do they. THINK people.
