This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)


Venezuela's low case count and death toll from the coronavirus are likely false and could in fact be thousands of times higher than official figures, according to the Human Rights Watch and Johns Hopkins University.

President Nicolas Maduro's government has reported 10 COVID-19 deaths out of 1,121 cases in a country of 30 million people, numbers a report from the HRW and Johns Hopkins calls "Absurd."

"We believe the data - the statistics that the Venezuelan government give, Maduro's statistics - are absolutely absurd and are not credible," HRW director for the Americas Jose Miguel Vivanco said during a videoconference Tuesday while presenting the report.

After the Spanish flu of 1918 they combed thru the records and massively increased the reported death toll. I cant remember if it was 2x or 5x or what but it was way more.

Seems like a baseless accusation. where's the data to suggest this. Just because something fits a narrative does not mean it's true.
