I would never put any trust towards official numbers - anywhere in the world. 

Yet, continues on. The obsession with fudged and unauthentic counts.

The only number you can most likely trust is daily number of dead from covid. But 19 is a low number by any measure (THA was upto 200+ daily dead at the height of the August surge). The fact that deaths are going up and new cases slightly down tells me there are more cases out there not being recorded. It's only 1 day so timing and lag in reporting is just as likely to blame. New daily cases will hit 10,000 by end of Jan. 20,000 by end of Feb. Then the real hand wringing begins (right in time for TnG v2).
