The analysis believes that the accuracy of the official death figures is limited by the strength of a country's detection capabilities.

"Financial Times" analysis of the death toll in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Britain, France, Italy and other 14 countries during the current epidemic shows that the death toll of new coronary pneumonia may be nearly 60% higher than the official calculation. It is estimated that the number of deaths beyond normal in these countries has reached 122,000, which is much higher than the official figure of 77,000 during the same period. Calculate the world at this ratio, then the number of people worldwide dying of new coronary pneumonia will increase from the current 201,000 to as many as 318,000. The analysis believes that the accuracy of the official death figures is limited by the strength of a country's detection capabilities.

CNN: Trump retreats from public view

Last Thursday, US President Trump made an amazing speech at the epidemic briefing, saying that injection of disinfectant may kill the virus. This "recommendation" caused public anger.
