Yes, my bad. Sorry for misrepresenting that. The current stats are 2.3 million infections and 160,000 deaths. But Wuhan deaths are acknowledged to be under-reported. And there’s large swathes of the planet with curiously low or absent numbers, while at the same time hosting some of the most densely populated urban areas. I’m thinking India, most of Africa and lot of South America. The point I’m making is that the absence of testing does not equate to an absence of infections or deaths.
