    Well rightly so, alcohol is a disinfectant. At the very least it's a solution, or so I learned in chemistry.

    Also note Switzerland and The Netherlands which are both in the top 10 with a relatively small population (respectively same as HK and twice HK). They're barely hanging on, and getting rapidly out of hand.

    Indeed. Not sure what's happening there. Also Isolated Iceland has quite a lot along with Faroe Islands

    Trump’s insistence on the contrary seemed to rest in his relationship with China’s President Xi Jingping, whom Trump believed was providing him with reliable information about how the virus was spreading in China, despite reports from intelligence agencies that Chinese officials were not being candid about the true scale of the crisis.

    Some of Trump’s advisers told him that Beijing was not providing accurate numbers of people who were infected or who had died, according to administration officials. Rather than press China to be more forthcoming, Trump publicly praised its response.

    “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus,” Trump tweeted Jan. 24. “The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
