Seems some have seen "Outbreak" and taken it as gospel.

Great perspective.
The numbers are still in question in the US. They were politicized from the beginning. The CDC has finally begun trying to unravel the mystery of who and what.
I also firmly believe that cross comparing countries and fatalities is only somewhat useful: Differences in culture, diet, age, drug use (legal and illegal), disease, hypertension, weight, etc. (could go on but the CDC does have a great list) make cross comparisons limited in strict relevance.
The "Models" were junk, mistakes were made, same as it ever was.
For some inexplicable reason, people think that the same type of bureaucrat that runs the DMV isn't in charge of the HHS and CDC.
