The opacity of the Chinese Communist authorities obliges dependable outside the house observers to appear for clues to the truth of the matter of the coronavirus epidemic, in its place of simply repeating official information and facts devoid of concern.
The formal depend from China is 3,277 fatalities from 81,171 bacterial infections as of Tuesday, but the Epoch Periods observed the troubling disappearance of some 21 million cell telephone accounts in China about the previous three months – an unprecedented decrease that hints at much more fatalities than Beijing is geared up to confess.
It really should be said at the outset that we ought to not be pressured to read tea leaves to determine out what definitely happened in China, primarily in the virus epicenter of Hubei province and the town of Wuhan, where by Chinese officers are at this time creating promises of zero new bacterial infections that no a person severely believes. While extra responsible governments concern troubling warnings of a second wave of infections, intense more than enough to prompt the re-imposition of quarantine techniques that were being only a short while ago lifted, China statements it has no 2nd wave and all of its new coronavirus circumstances are imported.
With that in thoughts, the Epoch Moments thought it was a bit odd for 21 million Chinese mobile phones to abruptly disappear, specified that cell cellular phone utilization has been growing constantly in China for several years, and telephones have been touted as an essen

Maybe a lot of people had multiple phones and after the economic meltdown in China (much like our own) people found that they couldn’t afford all the phones!
Maybe the Chicom Government has confiscated the phones to prevent subversives from communicating with the outside world re: Wuhan Virus.
Also possible that CCP has shut off service to a lot of areas so they could not leak out the real truth of what is going on.
BUT why would they shut off service to so many if the problems have been contained?

That's my interpretation, explained in the paragraph below. However, I hope the explanation in the article not only goes viral (heh!), it makes its way back to China, where either the hoi polloi or the Party elites use it to remove Xi Jinping from power. Someone's head needs to roll.
The average Chinese household is living from paycheck to paycheck. Chinese salaries are fairly low. The USD to CNY exchange rate is 1:7. The average annual salary in Wuhan is ~$8K. Assume husband and wife work. So that's $16K per household. The average price for a 1000 sq ft apartment on the outskirts of town is $170K. In other words, the average apartment costs 10 years of the typical household income, vs 5 in the US. And food costs are similar to the US, with the recent swine fever rocketing pork prices to $5 a lb. There's no room in that budget for anything extra, and that's when they're getting paid, rather than furloughed.
But the cost of pork at wholesale markets in China has climbed 16 per cent this year as measures to contain coronavirus have disrupted supply chains vital to shipping pigs from farm to market. And prices for piglets, which take about six months to grow large enough for slaughter, have jumped to a record Rmb84 ($12) per kg on surging demand from farmers, who believe pork prices will stay high or even climb further this year.

Brandon is regurgitating an article that has already been posted to FR.
I think I have the virus and it’s affecting my ability to read. Either that or it was a weirdly written article........
There is a big difference between shutting down phone service and taking away your phone number!
In the worst way I’d say. Journalism sure ain’t what it used to be.
Maybe because the phones themselves are literally infected with the corona virus and it would be better to replace them. Your phone is probably pretty saturated with germs and cooties.
Very good detail! Thank you.
At the end of a recent Time article, the author checked his phone to make sure his ‘Social Score’ was still green. He would show his phone to officials and would not be interrogated.

This reads as if the article was translated by Google from English to Chinese, and back again to English.
Did a search and of course it did not come up.
