Mosty of us, the ones without monetary gain from china.
WHO is a fracking corrupt joke.

Any estimate on how much off?
Millions.
Many, many countries have highly inaccurate data due to problems with testing and/or reporting.
North Korea
Russia
India
Indonesia
Pakistan
Mexico
Venezuela
Bangladesh
Ethiopia
Nigeria
Congo
Kenya
most of Africa, TBH
Are you defending china?
Just asking.

An Icelandic study suggests that 25 to 50 percent of CV carriers have no symptoms,and are quietly spreading the virus.

This sort of reminds me of silent Mono carriers, except CV is way more contagious.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was accurate.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I thought Spring Break might dramatically spread the coronavirus. It seems like the headlines tell the story:
28 of 70 University of Texas at Austin ‘Spring Breakers’ test positive for COVID-19
Wisconsin college students return home from spring break with coronavirus
Florida college students test positive for coronavirus after spring break trip University of Tampa
‘The only corona here is the one I’m drinking’ - Spring break kids mob Alabama beaches despite fears
New York man refuses to let son back in house after taking spring break trip amid coronavirus outbreak

The ratbag kids are spreading the virus here in Oz too.
We are having a particular problem with the young back-packer crowd holding parities. I.E. Not social isolating.
The age group is predominately from 20-29.
Young females have the highest infection rate.
Kick the bastards out of the country I say.

For months now North Korea has claimed they have no COVID-19 cases. But now the World Health Organization (WHO) is giving them $900,000 to support North Korea's efforts to fight COVID-19. The U.S. is the largest contributor to WHO. So WHO must be under the impression that they have money to burn and because I pay taxes each year, it is my money that is being burned.
Based on what I have read/heard, WHO is a noxious virus at the beck and call of the ccp.
I think we should eradicate this pestilence along with the coronavirus.
Jimmy, sometimes it is hard to know you comments from the articles.
Just saying.

A homemade mask or a surgical mask is not as protective as an N95, but it can serve two important purposes. It can reduce the R0, how many people are infected by another individual. If the mask reduces the viral particles being dispersed by the asymptomatic or the not-quite symptomatic by one or two persons, the R0 is reduced by a third or more. Second, it may reduce the amount of virus transmitted, and there is some evidence, although speculative, that a reduction in viral load is associated with a more benign course. There is little downside to wearing a mask when you venture out of your home, and there is the real possibility of an upside benefit, to you and your neighbors.
This is what I have been saying.
I think it should be mandatory for everyone to wear *some* sort of mask, even if it is only a bandana.
Personal responsibility.
Many Asian countries do this without thinking about it.
It is time western societies wake up to themselves.
And yes, "virus load" seems to me to be an important consideration.
It probably explains the severity of problems first-line workers seem to have, in abundance.

Things are getting out of hand. Last week I walked into the bank with a bandana over my face and everyone screamed and acted like I was a criminal. This week I walked into the bank without a bandana over my face and everyone screamed and acted like I was a plague-carrier and a criminal.
