And just who is reporting that? Do you actually believe that the death toll being reported in China is so bad that a news outlet would actually post that figure?
That ranks right up there with a video of an Iranian woman clad in her burqua being flogged while on her knees........Unfortunately, the video never mentions that it is quite apparent that she has padding on her back and shoulders that protects her from the whip...........
Yea, if it's on the internet, it must be true.........LOL!
Yes Mr Tabasco its true - some of us have contacts in China. As well there was early reporting (late Dec-early Jan) which you must have missed that furnaces were brought in. The death toll in China is likely surpassing 200,000. Chinese medicine is not western medicine. Of course you missed the essential point to jump on death totals - the real point is overloaded medical resources - in China there is a casual attitude toward personal health and the medical facilities reflect that attitude.
Like in Italy, the hospitals are overwhelmed because there are not enough ICUs. Most Hospitals ICUs are at or near capacity in ordinary times, COVID19 pushes medical people and resources beyond what they can cope with so more people die. The US will fare no better in this regard.
Any number which comes out of China about anything is suspect. The media can only report what the CCP releases. Back months ago, a Chinese official in a Chinese news conference admitted that the numbers released are a matter of political and national security. China is not the West. Did you miss Tiananmen Square in ‘89? There are still video up in case you want to understand better how things are done in China.
Be careful about what you say - have you see the pro basketball player who mocked COVID19 at a news event going so far as to touch each microphone showing his contempt? He now has tested positive ...
COVID19 is not the flu, unless nature is good at gene splicing ...
