    Yet the company denied that, the media were so desperate to get a story out against trump they found a random "source" in the German government without ever fact checking it.
    Untrue, head of company who was in talks with US 'resigned' and founder and developer of research application is back in charge.

    Is there any evidence that China is now hiding numbers? If there is please point it out.

    No. I have not said there is evidence of them hiding the number. I said it is likely they are hiding numbers based on how the regime has operated at present and in the past. Given China's nature, we simply cannot know and I think it is safer to assume they are lying. China doesn't do transparency and I fail to invest trust in such systems. Furthermore is there any evidence they are telling the truth or reason to believe them that I am missing?

    Some possible reports of understated deathcount:

    China has thousands more deaths then its saying,its a totalitarian country,and has been lying for years about everything.We cant rely on them.

    Of course they do because they were filling trucks with bodies to be cremated when it kicked off and misclassifying the cause of death of many early patients / their death total is far far higher than any statistic they wish to put out.

    The Assembly in the North doing a solo run with their new measures tonight. Odd timing, given there are no local news bulletins in Northern Ireland on a Saturday evening.

    So you think that all those people died and subsequently stopped paying their mobile phone bills?

    Deaths are starting to tick up now in Germany, 82 new deaths today and nearly 7,000 new cases. Brings the total number of deaths to 433.

    Whilst the rate of increase in deaths is sharply increasing the country still has an extraordinary low death rate compared to every other country.

    Different mustard over there. They contact traced and tested like wild men whilst we argued about rugby games and a parade here.

    The massive cover up from the Chinese from the get go is going to cost the planet dearly in the coming weeks and months. Some people still seem to believe they only had a few thousand deaths there also, bless.

    Number of cases as a % of new cases is trending down. Number of new cases is static enough.

    What would you have done, he is a diplomat he is on the spot he can alienate one or he can alienate the other. There is no choice. All he can do is look at what the current landscape is and respond accordingly. Can you imagine if they were political and went around pissing off various governments then nobody would listen to them. He is a diplomat.

    Well he is a failed diplomat then. He was clearly speaking for China. He could have just said ‘no comment’ or ‘I’m not answering that question’..

    Worldometers is such a great site. Of active cases in Italy, 94% are mild and 6% are critical. It's still really really bad, but not as mad sounding as the headlines...

    That makes it sound like the daily game that is played with counting how many patients are on a trolley in the hospitals.

    Yes, you are correct. Guess I was allowing optimism/positivity to get ahead of me in terms of my wording.
