Comment Re: Wow. Only 128x as many deaths per capita as C (Score 0) 576
Newsweek at least assumes many, many more. Knowing how the CCP works (I lived there for 6 years, and still have a stepdaughter living there), the Government decrees what the end result will be - and that's it. It happens. Whether it's real or not, that's the story and that's what you hear. Deaths, economic growth, investments, etc. Most of what you read about China is heavily massaged.
My stepdaughter works in logistics for a medical supply company in Shanghai. They've spent the last 2 weeks setting up and shipping tens of thousands of portable hospital beds to Beijing, and Beijing has gone into a lock-down itself. Why would that be, unless they're still having massive numbers of sick people show up?
Also, isn't it curious how China is the only country to have people become "re-infected"? No other country has reported that. Perhaps rather than being cured, they were "deemed cured" to keep the official numbers nice, and sent home early before they were actually cured. Like that's never happened before. Same with movie theaters - open them all up then 3 days later close them all down again. Why?
The CCP attitude is that a person doesn't matter; The People matter. If a few tens of thousands or a couple million die it's OK as long as it does not bring shame to the State, it's all good.
Of cause we are preparing for more masks, beds, ventilators, etc. cause we know THERE WILL BE SECOND WAVE, THIRD WAVE... But I guess it is too hard to understand for the people who may not be able to survive in the first wave, eh? By the way, who is saying that China's quarantine is propaganda? NYT, WSJ. And who is saying that China's quarantine is effective and need to be learned? WHO, Lancet. So, as long as you are happy, USA Robot!
