Something about the corona virus statistics doesn't add up in the Indian context (opens in new tab)

I read that the gestation period can be longer than 14 days (up to 28 days if I remember correctly). In addition, a good majority of these cases are asymptomatic or with very mild symptoms. This may explain a much higher spread than assumed by the numbers. It can also explain that a large number of cases, this time symptomatic, are highlighted after so long. Consider that the population in India is much younger than ours (I'm Italian)* and therefore this has allowed the virus to go unnoticed for a longer time. This is my guess obviously.

The author is right to bring up these points. We the people need to open our eyes and use our minds; don’t believe everything you read but instead decipher it critically with your mind... and keep the entire big picture in mind.

Umm, he’s missing the obvious explanation that confirmed cases lag actual cases? Confirmed cases are still going up because testing is going up, regardless of whether infection is going up.
