<div dir="ltr">Keith-<div><br></div><div>It's pure speculation based on the prior actions of the regime that runs China, combined with a number of news articles arguing that crematorium workers are saying they are burning 100+ bodies a day working 24/7 in Wuhan (funerals have been banned), and that the real number of infections may be 100K+. Taiwan's official news service also had some kind of "glitch" where they posted counts WAY above official ones and flipped back and forth ultimately ending with the official ones. At the end of the day though, I am speculating. It would be nice if the official figures were close to reality.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 6, 2020 at 11:47 AM Keith Henson via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dylan Distasio <<a href="mailto:interzone@gmail.com" target="_blank">interzone@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
