Keep in mind that these are all highly understated.

India, for example have experts saying that between 1 to 4 million have died, while for Pakistan the figure is probably around 60 to 90 thousand.

This is why experts estimate more than 900,000 KIA in America. The numbers I give are officially reported numbers.

Chinese numbers are also suspect, especially considering the stories of so many urns going to crematoriums last year. While I don’t doubt China effectively lockdown Hebei province and most of the rest of the country to contain the outbreak, it seems highly improbable that only 4636 deaths occurred in the whole of China. the economist has a article (may 30, 2021) this past week on excess deaths in Wuhan, New York, and London over the past year.

In China they probably don't bother testing. Same in Australia.
 
It’s not about the testing, but the abnormally high number of deaths over the amounts of the past few years.

Doubt they care. Virus kills the weak. Makes the population genetically stronger.

More important to most governments is not losing face or seeing a drop in the economy, especially in the face of a virus they have very little ability to control.

China and US are vying for top spot economically. So neither of them can afford a lockdown like Canada and Australia do.
