Brazil and South AFrica and places like China and Russia you really cannot believe their coronavirus statistics

Why?

Because when most people cannot afford to go to the hospital in any country or the country doesn't really count properly the cases or deaths because no one really is getting tested.

For example, Brazil is (reporters say) 12 to 16 times worse than anything they report. IN the case of South Africa it would be likely that most people won't go to the hospital to be treated and rather just die or recover at home without a doctor. Most places on earth without socialized medicine are like this. This is even true here in the U.S. to some degree because we don't have socialized medicine either.

But, we are pretty good at reporting at least the tested deaths here in the U.S.  which most other countries are not.

So, by multiplying the tested deaths by around 3 we get the actual amounts of deaths in places like the U.S., Canada and Europe by country or region.

So, if you multiply the deaths in these countries by about 3 you should arrive at the real number of deaths in your country if it is Europe, Canada or the U.S. or UK.

South Africa has a public healthcare system that provides services to the vast majority of the population, though it is chronically underfunded and understaffed, and there is a private system that is far better equipped, which covers the wealthier sectors of society.

The list of countries with socialized medicine during the Coronavirus likely will fare better than those who do not like here in the U.S.

Already most of Europe is doing much better than the U.S. for this reason and others.
