Meanwhile in China, residents of Hubei Province are looking around and counting the people collecting urns, among other things, and the news is spreading (as many as 40,000 may have died there).

Russia hasn’t really gotten started, unfortunately, but something similar may be expected.

Right, but it’s important that these places do not have any real history of transparency or a free press. It’s going to be fuck-ton more difficult to suppress the true numbers here. The best they’ll probably be able to do is misclassify some number of COVID-19 deaths as “unidentified pneumonia.” Fortunately statistical regression analysis will burn right through that bullshit.
