Unless it's China where no one believes the numbers anyway.

I'm serious. I guess you haven't been keeping up with things. *ANY* order of magnitude decreasing/increasing is a
BIG number. And before you respond to me, if you do so, you need to back up what you say.
Now, I made a slight mistake on my timeline. I confused October for August. That is MY MISTAKE. (Note: all you people that like to reply to others questioning what you post online, "Google it" is not the proper response. Especially when you are wrong. It ain't gonna kill you to admit it.) I use the official John Hopkins site for Covid data. Also, Japan is not an isolated island. Quite the opposite. Right next door to the source and before the lid blew off the doors had unrestricted travel. *AND* they have a higher percentage of people in the highest mortality bracket and are in a higher population density.
If you delve into the cumulative case data, you will see Japan had under a thousand cases before August. And when I looked at USA, they were already
three orders of magnatude greater in the deaths. Currently They are two orders of magnitude (~5,000) less than the US at over 400K
So, unless you can prove otherwise, i'm willing to listen as long as it is vetted source.
