Just a cursory glance of the numbers gives me the impression Asian countries in general are massively under-reporting the numbers, compared to western nations. For what reason? I do not know.

Places like Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc. aren't under authoritarian rule. Don't be an ignorant conspiracy theorist. If they're underreporting, then who's to say we aren't either? What makes us more transparent and reliable? These Asian countries are collectivist societies with trust in science and their government, and had to deal with the SARS pandemic in 2003. This isn't their first rodeo, it doesn't take five fucking months of politcal back-and-forth to embrace the use of masks, or saying it's fake and will go away in April.

People are still getting sick/dying from other reasons. We should look there first, rather than assuming everything is COVID.

Do you know what "excess deaths compared to normal" means? Yes people are dying of other causes, but what is the root issue here compared to last year? What makes this year different than 2019? Hint: It's not car accidents, it's not the flu. Hmm, can you guess?
