Just a hunch but there's that Asian cultural thing about 'saving face' 'losing face' which may drive how numbers are counted.

Frankly I just dont see it as much of a government cover up when its in today's national newspaper and the journalist and his family are still alive. IMO authorities and media have two objectives #1 prevent the spread of disease, #2 and getting the word out without causing the spread of panic as both can be just as harmful to the public. But it isn't made any easier by the nut cases and clowns armed only with conspiracy theories of government cover ups and unverified sources on youtube.

No one can resist.

John Hopkins University updated their dashboard from 15 to 16 confirmed cases based on the Humboldt County government report.

While it seems to be slowing down in China, it seems to be getting traction elsewhere: Coronavirus, the number of infections rises to six: the first are a 38-year-old from Codogno, his wife and a friend. In isolation 250 people

Stop wondering if China's news media is lying and know that they are at least throttling down on information

How not to fight Chinese propaganda

Chinese authorities initially sought to suppress news, delaying a response that might have slowed the spread of the disease. Many experts continue to believe that China is underreporting the number of infections. Several bloggers and activists who have criticized China’s response have been detained or gone missing.

On February 6, Chen Qiushi a freelance video journalist who reported via video that local hospitals were struggling to handle the large number of patients, disappeared.

He is likely in Chinese government custody. China is also engaging in widespread Internet censorship, disrupting the flow of critical information to those in need.

of course they lie about everything even dog food and dog chews kill dogs said a friend of mine that raises dogs

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern at the number of coronavirus cases with no clear link to China or other confirmed cases.

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's comments follow Iran's announcement of two more deaths, bringing the total there to four.

The window of opportunity to contain the virus was "narrowing", he said.

Iranian health officials said the virus may already be in "all Iran's cities".

Outside China 1,152 cases of the virus have been confirmed in 26 countries and there have been eight deaths.

They include two deaths in South Korea, which has the biggest cluster of confirmed cases apart from China and a cruise ship quarantined in Japan.

Italy on Friday announced 16 more cases and its health minister said schools and offices would be closed and sports events cancelled in the affected regions.

China has reported 75,567 cases including 2,239 deaths. The new virus, which originated last year in Hubei province in China, causes a respiratory disease called Covid-19.
