These numbers look less serious than the normal flu death count.

Then stop reading. No need to be here.

Ever see the Chinese do anything like they are doing? I wonder why they are doing that for the normal flu? I’m scratching my head. What are your thoughts?

We are not even out of the 1st inning.

I’ve read that repeatedly - the numbers are normal for flu, are made worse by some conditions in China (bathrooms without hand soap, locking people inside quarantine buildings etc.).

I’ve also heard that China is exploiting this as a means to “disappear” undesirables. Just pick them up, claim they have flu, haul them into a secured zone, report later that they succumbed.

so 20% dead is flu like?

[mrsmith]

Yeah, they’ve been suspicious from the beginning.
I’ve been surprised at how far China will go to manipulate their numbers. And I’m more distrustful of the CCP than most.

When’s the last time they quarantined 100 million people?
