Some here mention that possible cases are different than confirmed cases and she made an error.<p>If you know the Belgian story and the "big" amount of cases. Then you should know the country lists "suspected cases" as cases in every metric.<p>So while the number for Belgium looks a lot higher, since a lot of "other causes than COVID" are listed as cases in contrary to other countries.<p>We are one of the few that overestimate their cases, but we also don't need to verify the suspected cases as confirmed cases ( + put effort in that).<p>Probably every other country "undercounts" their cases.<p>This also led to the faulty conclusion of 'president T.' that Belgium is doing bad, informed observers would have known that is not correct to say :)<p>One of many references: <a href="https://www.brusselstimes.com/all-news/belgium-all-news/106454/coronavirus-why-belgium-also-counts-suspected-deaths/" rel="nofollow">https://www.brusselstimes.com/all-news/belgium-all-news/1064...</a>
