There is simply no way for outsiders to know.  CCP is definitely hiding data - that's what they do.  Always.  

 

Note that the entire planet's stock markets are crashing due to the economic losses from lockdowns, but the Chinese stock market, is flat, or slightly up.  Why?  Not because China isn't affected.  But because that stock market is rigged by the Chinese Govt.  And they decided early in the game to prevent their stock market from crashing to preserve the appearance of "China is doing fine".  Just like they pressured UN and World Health Org to push outright false claims of denying human to human transmission of this virus, well into late January.  

 

The Chinese cannot be trusted.  Not because they are chinese, but because they operate under a political and governance philosophy where control, propaganda, and "stability" always takes precedence over facts and the lives of average folks.  

Since you refer to the claim of 8m deaths as conspiracy. 

 

What is your guess over actual numbers? Consider factors such as the extra facilities they developed, the troubles, spread in other countries etc.

In theory, yes.  Virus cannot survive more than a couple of days outside human body. BUT, how do you guarantee that nobody carrying the virus re-infected it more recently?

Since the bus was not touched by anyone in last one week.

Haven't applied much thought or research to it.  But their numbers are definitely cooked, ie. understated.  By what factor, its hard to say.  

 

By the way, CCP regime is claiming ZERO new infections in China, and even Chinese doctors in Hubei province are contradicting that.   

 

China has rolled out nationwide lockdown and detailed monitoring with temperature checks everywhere, etc.  So I think they have reduced R0 quite a bit.  Goal for rest of the world is to get there asap.

Some say atleast around 30M were infected.

 

But if this was to be the case, other nations would have reported massive cases?

Because not all infected become sick. Fatality rate is around 1% or thereabouts.  Academics are trying to project/estimate number of infected people based on fatalities - these models have assumption-based errors built in.  I think its tangential to focus too much on overall numbers, apart from the indicative R0 etc, for a public health policy perspective.  Rest is too noisy to really say conclusively, at this point.

For Italy, Fatility rate is 10%. 

 

It is varying from country to country probably due to veracity of data.

 

If we were to take 4k deaths at fatility rate of 1%, it translates into total # of cases being 400k.

That's not a reliable number, because denominator could be wrong. i.e. lot more people who were infected, but not detected. 

 

Also, Italy has a disproportionate % of older population, higher % smokers etc.  There's a LOT of data points that can skew things - especially since we are so early in this. 

 

But given the fact that its a coronavirus, and the data from smaller clusters - South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, etc where testing has been done to a higher depth, I'd expect a fatality rate of around 1% in the end.
