Because capitalism!
Something similar happens in Europe with migrant workers in agriculture. Despite pandemic Germany
Same is happening in Austria,France,Italy etc. A huge amount of agricultural production in EU is produced by imported ( What's their legal status BTW? ) seasonal workers. Here in Greece thousands of workers from Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh are employed-exploited- in strawberry, watermelon, tomato, and other fields. Most of them live permanently in slums with no basic comforts such as clean and hot water. Most of them are "illegals" but who cares? They do the dirty work, ever for free.
Link of CNN Greece about "employer" who shot 35 strawberry field workers because they asked their payment.
Now, refugee camps and these slums of landworkers likely are Coronavirus hotspots here in GR. 150 positives out of 400 tests in refugee camp in Kranidi, GR two days ago.

It is not possible to build high-rise buildings in low-wage countries and then transport them to Singapore. You have to bring the construction workers to the site.

Gents, this is a the corona virus thread, this is not about how egregious nations are that employ migrant workers, that has no place on the Sino Defense Forum, unless somebody is hiring mercs!

but I didn't get if "253000 cases" which "would have met the case definition and could have been detected by Feb 20, 2020"
did, or didn't, mean people who were actually sick?
in the process I looked back at offhand Mar 7, 2020 guess (of "something like 83k"), and it appears to be correct now (LOL)
it's based on Feb 10, 2020 estimate of about seventy-three thousand (I repost the graph below) increased, just like that, by ten thousand Mar 7, 2020
just wanted to 'close the book' here
OK I've now heard of "a so-called clinical iceberg phenomenon, which is common for a disease that can cause both mild and severe illnesses like COVID-19",

If the paper is indeed correct, then China should have 332K confirmed cases instead of 83K cases.
But since those extra 249K cases are milder form of infection that never developed into more serious health problem and become part of the 83K, then there is little or no fatality from them.
Does that mean that China's Covid-19 fatality rate should now be 1.4% instead of 5.6% ? Do note that 5.6% includes those "probable deaths" added last week.

It's a best guess IMO. Most countries other than SK didn't do that much testing and contact tracing due to overwhelmed systems. If you look at the news from NY where 3 M got it apparently, then NY also got a pretty low death rate.
