South China Morning Post is Chinese Communist Party propaganda packaged to sell to gullible foreign devils.

Quite probably but since most media is one propaganda of another it has all to be evaluated to have some truth extracted out of it.

When our own media is focused on a 79 year old communist running for President, you have to dig for any news. Then you have to discern how much is real and how much is bullshit.

In the end you can get a feel for the situation without relying on their numbers.

Or we could listen to US median and the CDC. And then we can all be “shocked” when we realize this “flu” thing might be important.

If there is 'chaos' in Iran, then there may be problems for shipping in the Persian Gulf.

Iran shot down the Ukrainian passenger jet taking off from Tehran airport. And that occurred without the fears of a 'pandemic'.

Make the 'CNO' aware there may be 'possible problems' in the 'Persian Gulf'.

Iran might start sinking 'oil tankers' because Iran is not in control...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Will Iranians be allowed to go to Mecca for the Hajj Pilgrimage?

That’s over a MILLION PEOPLE right there who could be potentially infected (many of them from Europe and the USA).

Your posting history reads like an apologia for Xi, but in poor Engrish.

Care to explain why we shouldn’t out you as a ChiCom Troll?
