I believe a lot of things engineered to be bioweapons burn themselves out quickly and from the very beginning are put together in such a way that as they mutate they become more benign, not more lethal. But, who says it's a weapon to begin with?

Do I believe the spread is declining? Shrug, I don't even know whether to believe the virus research lab in such a large travel hub city is a bioweapons lab or just a virus research lab with the usual Chinese tendency toward shoddy construction and ignoring bothersome rules.

It's entirely possible but probability is anyone's guess at the moment. We're talking about the land of Mao, after all, so they could murder everyone infected and it's not a given that we'd find out about it any time soon if ever.

Hey, you asked, so JMHo

“China Claims Virus Spread Is Miraculously Declining Defying Experts”

But I thought they were atheists and didn’t believe in miracles!

Medicals report to their place of work at once.

Yes. I believe there's typhus?

You've been listening to rumormongers, Comrade. There is no typhus in our city.

Well, that's good news. I'll report tomorrow.

Do we know about the health and fitness of those who were infected and died?

With the flu we're told the elderly, children, and those with compromised immune systems (people who already have a pre-existing illness) are most at risk.

Do we know HEALTHY people are being infected and dropping dead? Or did the people who died have an illness or were vulnerable is some way?

Of all the world’s major, large countries China has the most extensive, intrusive, and oppressive population control, giving its government a real advantage in a crisis like this.

It isn’t as if lying won’t catch up with reality. If the SHTF we’ll know soon.

Yup

The Chinese government issues statements according to their utility, not according to their truth.

They might be true, if they are also useful.

This is different from the demo party here at home, which will never tell the truth, even if the truth has utility for them.

Thus, the Chinese government is slightly more believable than our democrats... but only slightly.

“It isn’t as if lying won’t catch up with reality. If the SHTF we’ll know soon.”

So far no deaths outside of China that I am aware of.

I’ve always felt that China will use the virus for political purposes. Chinese Communists have already ruled by “political struggle” and “mass movement.” Mao herded the population from one crazy scheme to another. The more modern rules of China have done the same, albeit for less extreme ends.

So now they have the “war on coronavirus” which is filling the Chinese media full blast. It can be used many ways. To explain recent economic decline. Or as justification for some new huge government program, or social control mechanism. And if that’s the case - then this virus will end when the regime decides it should end.

Anyway, as someone in America’s own previous quasi-communist regime (Obama) said: “Never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.”

The ChiComs are as reliable as the dems in Congress pushing their faux impeachment bs.

While I don’t necessarily take the Chinese word for it, It’s possible

If it’s doing that it’s a bioweapon and they have the cure/vaccine.

“Maybe the reason is people are locked up in their houses, not venturing outside and self medicating knowing the hospitals can’t help them?”

Yup, that will have an effect

"It can be used many ways."

It will sure make the case stronger for closing at least some of the filthy "wet markets" that the Chinese love which is probably why that's where they said it started when they knew otherwise.

Pork flu killing off so many hogs has made it less acceptable to keep your own hog in the yard or in the house as a garbage disposal, maybe this will make it less acceptable to choose your chicken or dog on the street and see it butchered rather than buying it from a refrigerated case.
