This mathematical model says China's unreported cases of COVID-19

is anywhere between additional 12 millions and 89 millions, which is 

certainly staggering number.

It is one of those things only the authoritarian government can get away with.

People's lives are just numbers, which the government can manufacture at will.

No question, doc, no question!!!!

I have been in China so many times through the last decade especially after I left Korea and got back home to the U.S., literally twice a year most of time so that I know too well how much CCP (Chinese Communist Party) controls the individual life - even someone joked FARTY decides how many time they coud fuck a night, which is indirectly true with the population control policy with 'one child one family'-. The additional children have NO record what so ever, as unvisible human so that uncountable; no education, of course, because they are invisible in the society! Thanks to Italiano's generosity because these invisible uncountable Chinese especially from Wuhan/Hubei region were smuggled by Chinese merchants to Lombardia - a few hundred thousands at least?- to use as sweatshop slaves to work to help them to take over entire Milan-based fashion industry now. And ignorant Italiano are paying the price handsomely now with Wuhan virus, thanks to CCP. Long live CCP!!!!

Some of the things you said are eye-openers for me, Professor.

Thank you for that.

In one County in California it is now shown that 50 to 85 times more people have been infected 

with the virus than what was reported by the health official.

This is no surprise to me.

Orange county, ca, where I live reports 1500 cases today. 50 times of that will be 75000.

USA total case number today is about 700,0000. 50 times of that will be 35000,000.

Notice I took 50 instead of 85, which means 35 millions is conservative number.

The total number for the world is 2.2 millions. 50 times of that will be 110 millions.

It is indeed mind boggling, approaching ever closer to 1918 Pandemic, 

the scope of which is in the below.

"It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic."(from Internet)
