About 3 weeks ago, my doctor who is working miracles with my back using acupuncture [*granted , it's coming up on 6 months and is costing me a fortune since insurance does not cover it...] told me that the numbers are now not accurate, she mentioned that anyone who has C-19 but dies from say a heart attack, or falls down a flight of stairs and dies due to blunt trauma - both of those people are listed as C-19 deaths, even though the actual cause and manner of death was completely un related.
She also told me it's being treated wrong, she said it needs to be treated like high altitude sickness, which when I researched that further I saw she was right - hence why the ventilators don't work in 90% of the cases...
*on a side note, in 1994... we went up to 12,500 feet in a UH-60 L Blackhawk during the winter to trouble shoot freezing fuel selector valves [from the cold] or maybe if was freezing PAS levers, I forget...] and it might have been even closer to 15,000 feet - but it was the two pilots, me, and an engineer - and I remember we had a real serious briefing about going past 10,000 feet without oxygen, and if anyone felt funny or if any one felt that someone within the crew was not 100% the mission would be aborted..... because it's the same thing, your lungs can no longer absorb oxygen properly.... anyhow, we did it and I remember feeling as as white as a ghost, but we were able to figure out what was happening - there was a problem with minor condensation in the spiral wrapped cables to either the PAS levers or the fuel selector valves - I forget which - and that was what was causing the controls to freeze solid.
Regarding Russia, actually their numbers are spiking up now
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/Regarding India - here's the thing, those people live in squalor and because of that I am willing to bet money that their immune systems are naturally cranked up to the max based on what they are exposed to day in and day out.... those people probably have 5 or 6 diseases happening at the same time which would make any American deathly sick with just one of them !!
N. Korea has very little contact with the outside world, which probably helps save them as well.
Either S. Korea or China, one of those places - if you got caught outside during periods of lock down, it was a mandatory fine of about $8,000 U.S.D and 1 year in jail, forced labor - good incentive to stay inside if you ask me !!
Also - China is used to these kinds of things, Japan too - those people wear masks all the time.
The people in that part of the world are also highly disciplined as if you disobey The Party, you die - simple as that - but yes, the numbers in the U.S. are now being fudged.
