China Hits a Coronavirus Milestone: No New Local Infections

China on Thursday reported no new local infections for the first time since the coronavirus crisis began three months ago, reaching a milestone in its battle with the deadly outbreak that has upended daily life and economic activity around the world.

As governments in Italy, the United States and elsewhere grapple with the pandemic, China has hailed its success as evidence of what can be achieved when a vast, top-down bureaucracy that brooks no dissent is mobilized in pursuit of a single target.

The sky is...not...falling??

[vetvetdoug]

Sure, the Chicoms are honest about everything that has been occurring.

[originalbuckeye]

Does anyone think this is true?

[Spktyr]

Being China, that may be that they simply stopped reporting new cases. Or they shot everyone who reported they were infected.

Or they enforced a quarantine by shooting people.

It is, after all, China.

The sky is...not...falling??

Now I wonder if this is a Chinese LIE?
Hmmmmm.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I don’t believe a word coming out of this commie country!!!

[janetjanet998]

yes...like this

World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO · Jan 14 Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China🇨🇳. https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152

Maybe the Chinese 6 foot social distancing is interpreted to include six feet under ground. They no longer are in the living virus victim statistic. Posthumous.

[dfwgator]

Wuhan still looks like a ghost town.

Wow, as bad as the NYT has always been, I have never once seen them advocate for a fascist tyranny HERE, before.

[hercuroc]

Javier Hernandez has to be a commie.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

No.

[Celtic Conservative]

Lying is as common as breathing with the chicoms. I call bullshit.

[RasterMaster]

If they kill off those infected...guess there would be “no new cases” to report?

[crz]

Nobody should believe this at all.

But hope that just maybe, just maybe, for one time them bastards are telling the truth.

Maybe if they kiss ass enough China will let their reporters stay

[goldstategop]

So they managed to bring it to a halt. Proof China’s authoritarian, technocratic-based governance works.

[yesthatjallen]

Why hasn't this hit any homeless encampments, homosexuals, or immigrant minority communities?

Why are 'the most vulnerable' apparently invulnerable?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Remember a few weeks ago the “Party” threatened local “leaders” they had better not have any more increasing numbers....”or else”?
