I have a sneaking suspicion that the Chinese numbers might be correct. Not because Xi Jinping is an honest man, but because the overwrought Chinese response might simply be Xi’s response to the pressures placed on him because of factional rivalries. Why does a quasi-emperor figure like Xi even have any pressures from the ant hill he bestrides? Isn’t he a queen ant, a living god who not only commands unconditional obedience, but the literal worship of the drones who live to kiss his feet and otherwise pay obeisance to His Awesomeness? For a long and complicated explanation, read this entry about the complicated dynamics that belie the surface calm of life at the top in China:

Another episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. That’s so glamorous.

There were two Americans interviewed who admitted they LIED about having been tested and being negative just to avoid quarantine.

On this cruise, the ship comedian fled the boat and was fired.

Friends were turned away from their Disney cruise Saturday because one of them had recently been in Japan. This was decided 45 minutes before cruise departure. Then they had the guts to try to push them to some credit over at WDW if they wanted to have a vacation there before the cruise line finally relented and issued a refund (for the cruise only.)

So, who knows, they might find themselves back in quarantine coming back from Japan now. Everything is constantly evolving. They might have saved themselves time just coming back on CoronaAir.

These Americans, or at least residents of America, are wearing getaway masks.

If you were on that ship, you will have to be quarantined for 37 years before anyone can trust you in public again!!!

People are such idiots.
