according to some people here... this lack of understanding is due to China's unwillingness to report their death rate

Like how dumb are you though? Tons of third world countries are smart enough to only eat animals without public health risks.

Your derangement personality disorder just wants to blame muh evil Murica for everything.



Third world countries eat dirty animals because that's the food that is available to them.

Not my fault you can't see and accept that our way of doing things is wrong.

It has nothing to do with being anti any nation.

article about deaths being under reported in one Italian province: https://thehill.com/policy/international/490754-death-toll-in-italian-province-twice-as-high-as-official-count

authorities have not counted those who were found dead in nursing homes and other residences after falling ill and dying without being tested for the disease.

The part of what I said that you deleted.


the part that merely stated the current death toll (which is at 5.5k atm)? that alone is enough for you to predict it will be 20k max?! why not say 5.6k then? same 'logic' as you're clearly not basing it on any halfway realistic model. science deniers in action, lol...

Not all the time. It's about taste preference rather than abject poverty and being forced to eat unsafe wildlife.

Most people in China have adequate food, it's more of a taste thing to eat bats or baby mice or whatever.

Like eating deer and rabbit here maybe? Folk foods vs. grocery food.

I grew up eating squirrel but we were exceptionally poor.

Yeah, that was enough for me. The longer this goes, the faster the rise in death toll will slow. It's not rocket science.

On a side note... by this evening the world's covid-19 case count will pass 1,000,000

apparently it's 'rocket science' to you to realise we're not at that point yet - even though this is from the same site you made your screenshots on:



currently it's still accelerating, unfortunately, and it really doesn't take a genius to extrapolate that your prediction is completely moronic, and certainly not based on ANY understanding of this pandemic, or even just basic maths, lol.

how long until you think we reach that inflection point and what makes you think it will be then?
