A study by Derek Scissors of the American Enterprise Institute used a conservative model to estimate that the total number of cases in China is closer to 2.9 million, far exceeding the 82,000 the Chinese government claims.
The lessons China learned are all wasted, even harmful if decision-makers elsewhere believe China is offering accurate information and represents a model.”
In addition to misreporting basic statistics, Beijing has also delayed the global response by spinning self-serving narratives about the origin of the outbreak, refusing to provide live samples of the virus to American researchers working to develop a vaccine, and stifling its own researchers.
The U.S. intelligence community concluded in a classified report earlier this month that China deliberately provided incomplete public numbers for coronavirus cases and deaths resulting from the infection.
Does not in the least surprise me. My own calculations based on the population sizes and infection/death rates in Italy & Spain came out at minimum deaths = 145,000 and minimum cases 2m and that was without applying a exponential factor of 1x to 5x.

Trump's a fool, the WHO have handled it badly and questions should be addressed,a reply to: Zcustosmorum
So, giving them more funding to continue to mess up is UN-FOOLISH?
So, your logic

Go into a dentist they pull wrong teeth - All good pull some more I know the tooth faerie personally.
Mechanic replaces water pump instead of fuel pump no problem I am rich I should tip them

one has to ask - why did you quote the wrong dictionary definition for " objective "
in the context of this thread - objective :
djective
1.
(of a person or their judgement) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.
"historians try to be objective and impartial"
is the correct definition
as opposed to subjective .

Not when the WHO figures are wrong as well .
What is it now 2 , or is it 6 , 10 , 20 , 30 million ?
50 , 100 ?
The American calls fascist and now you call racist .
What's the word for that ?
Total hypocrisy .
When the big man in the sky gets here ..
You gonna cry
