Numbers from Spain/Italy are likely only half, of actual numbers at best.
Its likely its much like this other places too.

In Ialy, Bergamo, the situation is out of hands. Many more deaths than officially counted.

There are ("illegally taken") pictures floating around from Wuhan, where the crematorium is working day and night. The Chinese numbers are obciously fake.

Worldinfometer added this note today explaining France's sudden high numbers

France today reported 884 additional deaths that have occurred in nursing homes over the past days and weeks [source]. The French Government did not include these deaths in their official count, as their count only takes into consideration deaths of hospitalized patients. Following international standards of correct inclusion, our statistics will include these deaths, and will add them to the April 2, 2020 count following the attribution criteria of date of report.

If and when the French government determines and communicates the correct distribution of these additional deaths over time, we will adjust the historical data accordingly.


What international standard of correct inclusion? It seems to be the theme everywhere to only count hospital deaths. International standards are to fudge the numbers :/
