This seems bad.

I've always thought that Chinese gov't had this "Goldilocks" zone for the propaganda that they could put out. I said earlier that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the number of actual deaths was more between 20-40k. This is a country where a large number of people can (and do) get "disappeared" by the gov't, but their are limits to the number of deaths that they can actually cover-up. For instance, beyond a million people, it would be incredibly tough to hide that. With the number of first and second-generation chinese immigrants here in America and in Europe, you'd hear about it because most of those people still have family back in China. Those communities in the West would be freaking the eff out if there were an overwhelmingly large number of relatives that they suddenly couldn't get in touch with.
I just wanted to pop in and say that it's absolutely amazing how rough ridin' stupid you are.
China has a population of 1.386 billion people. So it's absolutely barely a blip on the radar screen to have 25k to 40k dead (which is still low) from an (ongoing) event like this. The whole
everyone in China has family in other countries so it would be really hard for this communist dictatorship in a social control state to cover this up take is so rough ridin'
. But that's ol dumbass trey.
BTW the Chinese are back to shutting down whole provinces, moving troops around all over the rough ridin' place, people still dropping dead in the streets and hospitals giving test results to people telling them they have practically every disease under the sun BUT Covid-19. So they don't have to admit they have another Covid-19 case.
The
@MakeItRain take on Fauci from back in January
. You whack jobs have lost your mind about Trump and elevated Fauci to some deity status. Yet there the dude is, on record in late January telling the citizens of the United States that they didn't have to worry about the Covid-19 virus. Oh, take it seriously, but nothing to worry about.
So this means, the "top guy" was literally telling the administration there was "nothing to worry about". So apparently the expectation is that Trump was supposed to go against what the "top guy" was saying in January and completely freak out about Covid-19.
