Covid-19 Facts: True or False?

As we all know the corona virus and how it has effected our lives, but they way we hear about it is through social media so how much of it is actually true? I have read that  US intelligence community has determined that the Chinese government concealed the extent of its coronavirus outbreak and gave false numbers of cases and deaths in the country, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing three US officials. Intelligence officials transmitted a classified report of their findings to the White House last week. Bloomberg described its sources as saying that the report's main conclusion was that China's public reporting of coronavirus cases was "intentionally incomplete." Two officials told the outlet that it found that China's numbers were fake.China was the center of the novel coronavirus outbreak until last week, when the US's number of cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, surpassed China's. The World Health Organization declared it a pandemic on March 11. As of Wednesday, more than 885,000 people across the globe had been infected and more than 44,000 had died. China had reported 82,361 confirmed cases and 3,316 deaths, according to a database from Johns Hopkins University. The US had reported 190,089 positive cases and 4,102 deaths.The outbreak originated late last year in the city of Wuhan, in China's Hubei province. As more and more people got sick, China's communist government implemented strict lockdowns and ordered residents to stay inside while officials raced to contain the spread of the virus. What is your guys opinion on this?

  1. I agree with you when you question what is actually true. For all of us there is a-lot of information about this virus yet we are not sure what is actually true. Also in my opinion trying to wait out the virus is not going to be beneficial for when it comes around again. Also the death rate is 0.03 percent which is very low. I think the emphasis needs to be on the at risk people because they're higher risk.
