I'll just say they are involved in actually sending the data to CDC. Now it's anecdotal in the sense that they're aware of the real numbers in their area are twice what the CDC is reporting. Maybe it's only happening with them, but I suspect they're hardly the only ones. I've never really trusted the numbers for the most part. I think they're intentionally keeping the numbers low so as to avoid starting a panic. Which is understandable.

I agree that the numbers overall shouldn't be trusted. Everything is significantly higher than is being reported. Where I start to question things is on the specific percentages and severities. We've got lots of independent data collected from numerous sites globally that reinforce the idea of certain percentages as they relate to severe cases. If we're getting into the idea that there's a coverup to keep those lower than they actually are, we're getting a little too close to global conspiracy territory for my tastes and I'm going to need to see numbers and data sets to support those claims.
