Noticeably absent from this morning’s WHO update are the last 2 reported deaths in the United States, one from Canada, and several from Mexico.
The WHO updates, while providing us with some idea as to the spread of the disease, should not be taken as either accurate or complete. Some nations are not testing for the virus, while others are applying very strict criteria regarding who can be tested.
Most observers, and many scientists, believe the actual number of people infected around the world is many times higher than these figures indicate.
