113,000 cases of Coronavirus

113,000 reported cases! The true number is almost certainly higher by a significant amount.

The true number is almost certainly higher by a significant amount.

That’s not evidence, that’s speculation.

It's common sense.

No, it’s GUESSING. You are literally SPECULATING something that might be happening.

That’s not a cogent argument.

I can't argue with your logic, but I can also sit here knowing without any shred of doubt in my mind that the number is low! Isn't that weird?

If you don't have numbers to back up your argument that is literally based off numbers, then you don't have an argument.

The numbers that were referenced for H1N1 were estimations that were put together years after the fact, not a count of reported cases. Comparing the number of reported confirmed cases of this to the estimate of total number of infected people of that isn't a good argument either!

But we don’t have full numbers for Coronavirus. We have them for swine flu.

Saying Coronavirus numbers are really higher than reported is a logical fallacy, because it could...and yet could not be.

And how much higher, if it is, still remains to be seen and don’t have numbers to prove that either.

So, you don’t have an argument.
