Happy to hear input.
I think the biggest problem is that even in the USA Influenza totals are done as an extrapolation since so many don't go to the doctor and testing for the flu is almost solely done upon admission to the hospital and the CDC uses some secret ninja bs to guesstimate the total number of infected and right now almost all people with symptoms are tested RFN for Chinese coronavirus and the numbers are truly being maintained.
