Why China's Revised Coronavirus Death Toll Matters
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - China revised its official death toll for coronavirus on Friday, adding 1,290 to the number of dead. It's important because numerous models have relied on China's numbers in order to plan their own lockdowns and mitigation efforts. No other country in the world has been able to produce such a rapid decline in new cases as China reported. We now know that those who raised the alarm early were right. Those who presented an optimistic curve that would flatten and then decline in two weeks, as the WHO presented in late February, were mistaken.
