Quite simply , I do not believe the Chinese government will be forthright with true stats. The affect on their economy will outweigh a more rational approach. Life is cheap in China and when people are subjugated to the extent that they are it has to be a Stockholm situation x1000 . It is not in China’s interest to be open with the world. It is not very wise to deny God as they do . I post this in response to the article as this man bases his opinion on possibly very muted information and statistic’s .

Life is cheap in China
They do not seem to understand the numbers from the Chinese Government are a political statement, not a factual one. Their only concern with the shutdown quarantine is money - if the principle parties of the CCP and the various PLA generals are not getting the money they demand, then peasants die or someone gets shot until the cash flow resumes.
