As a modeler, in a field unrelated to pandemics and epidemiology, my first reaction was that the estimates of CRF, IFR and R0 are going to be wrong. Which in turn is going to produce wrong estimates from all the models.
First, they did not shutdown the wet markets which they should have right after SARs, then they concealed the outbreak for weeks or months and now they are lying about the numbers.
