Does anyone here believe that Red China had less than 100,000 people infected with the Wuhan Virus?

Don’t worry,official figures from China are probably way low.

Heck, one researcher in Itsly says the real numbers there are easily 10 times official.

The difference is that the Italians don’t know, he ChiComs just won’t say.

“The US now has more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country with at least 82,404 positive tests.”

I THOUGHT that was the idea all along, Comrades.

*SPIT*

Never let a crisis go to waste. I think sanctuary states are inflating the numbers for more federal aid. Colorado positive counts includes those who test positive, those who have been near a positive person is considered positive for the count and those that have some of the symptoms are considered positive. You can have allergies and be counted positive in Califrado.

The ChiComs send tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers into Wuhan -- yet claimed NOT ONE of them contracted Kung Flu.

What kind of retard believes anything they say?

However our death rate is staying pretty steady at around 1.5% unlike China (4%), Italy (10%), Spain (7%), S Korea (1.5%), Iraq (9.4%)

This “narrative” was all-too-predictable. Everyone must push back against it.

1. The Chinese statistics cannot be compared with those in the USA (even, if you assume for a moment, the Chinese are attempting to be honest). The Chinese never counted any of the mild cases, that resolved themselves without being reported — those are a majority of cases. The USA figures have jumped since massive testing began — these statistics include all cases, mild to severe. We simply don’t know about mild cases in China, because they were never counted.

2. The only valid comparison is per people — e.g cases per million people. For instance, the US population is about 5 times greater than Italy’s. If the country totals match, the USA rate/million people would be one fifth that of Italy.

Expect the lying media (sorry about the redundancy) to use country-to-country comparisons because those comparisons cast the USA in the worst possible light. Don’t let them away with those lies!

“The US now has more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country with at least 82,404 positive tests. According to the latest figures collated by Johns Hopkins University, the US overtook China (81,782 cases)”

Yeah, whatever Xi says I’m good with.

Italy - population 60 million - has 2.5 times as many deaths as China.

How can anyone believe China’s numbers?

By the way...

China’s “Case Fatality Rate” is 4.0%

The USA “Case Fatality Rate” is 1.4%.

The USA rate has been stable - or declining - for almost three weeks.

1110 people have died in the US?

According to an article on March 16 from the NY Times, 3,245 have died in China”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/world/asia/china-coronavirus-zero-infections.html

And according to Aljazeera, 3,405 have died in Italy.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/uk-schools-close-italy-covid-19-deaths-jump-live-updates-200318235116951.html

It’s this type of publicity that is used to scare people. It’s the flu folks. People get it, a few die. It has happened every year for over 100 years. Now is not the time panic. That should have happened over 6 generations ago. And it’s lies like this article that makes people panic. This is a political scam.
