@Rapido To get a truer picture I’d like to see the graph for number of tests administered overlaid on those figures.

Deaths should be the metric not cases.

Weeeeell. There is a good chance that significantly greater numbers of tests might show an increase in positive cases. If it doesn’t then just blame it on China.

@Catogrande Russisn numbers seem to go against that theory?
-
@taniwharugby Trustworthy?
Edit: should also have said that it would really only be meaningful to compare Spain then and Spain now rather than v another country.
Still don’t trust any numbers coming from Pravda though 😬

@Catogrande there is that...

Dont know the answer to that. Did a quick search on testing rates. But on phone.
Looks like 5% of Spain tests are coming back positive.
Belgium at 2.5% , which is reassuringly blue.Belgian data up to 4 days ago, Spain up to 7 days old. Maybe this page is not that useful , for what is a less than 7 day trend.
For context UK is 0.4%, USA is 8.2%

Jeezus. Looking at that site.
7 day average for Mexico is 80.1% of tests are positive!Could be that they're only testing people that are in hospital coughing their guts up? Numbers of tests being done/population might be an indicator of how bad that figure really is

Covid has confirmed one thing. That the current "age" being known as the "information age" is the biggest misdemeanour of our time.
Yes, there is a lot of information. But it seems 90%+ of the information is either bullshit, opinion or statistically misleading. It seems the more we know, the stupider we are.

Yeah, they've been openly criticized IIRC by WHO for their poor testing rate. I knew that they had inadequate testing. But still flabbergasted when I clicked that graphic.
