The numbers as reported really don't give us an accurate picture.
How many have been tested?
Demographics of those tested?
Geographic location of those tested?
Percentage of population tested?
Definition of dying from covid-19, is it the only, primary, one of many factor's?
And on and on and on ...
The more clarity you seek the less clear it all becomes.
We're being told nothing actually.
We're being manipulated, maybe for our good, maybe not.
