(1) The "official" numbers out of China are BS based on their actions - shut down cities, build "hospitals" for the sick in a few days, round people up, - and likely under reporting two orders of magnitude or more (as various people have said) - i.e, - e.g., > than 130,000 deaths already

(2) The "official" numbers outside China are intriguing (e.g., US numbers) suggesting either that (1) they are low or (2) something's going on with respect to the location of the outbreak (Wuhan) and the people involved there versus much of the rest of the world.
