In countless non-western countries there has been no measures taken of any kind, or very limited ones. Viral type flu like illnesses spread everywhere and quickly. On average there are 1,000,000,000 people who get the flu globally. If those models, which I find highly questionable, are correct, a huge swath of third world nations, especially with their limited resources, would be having tremendous increases in hospitalizations and deaths. That flat out is not happening. The models were using an inaccurate/inflated fatality rate. That's why the numbers are wrong. I am going to keep beating that drum, because it's true.
