The countries could be suppressing the official data to quell the people’s anxiety. China’s hospitals are being overrun by the people suffering from novel coronavirus, which is compelling Chinese government authorities to either avoid or turn away some of the infected from the overcrowded hospitals. Then, there are ignoramus people who have mild symptoms and could be infected but don’t realize it yet.
