They lied about SARS deaths but only about by 2x (because the death rate in all countries was pretty much the same except the mainland where they claimed 1/2 rate of others). I expect a similar rate of lying in the deaths for this one. Not thousands right now, but hundreds, sure

The company I work for did their quarterly mandatory safety meetings and I found out our company has some sort of poop terrorist randomly taking explosive diarrhea shits in random parts of the building. Also we should wash our hands like constantly or we will die.

Edit: I’m doomed if the fecal terrorist gets this virus as I now suspect every surface in the office is covered in his or her poo poo.

Any evidence of this or is this just a meltdown? Not defending china, but you sound a little unhinged about this.

The Chinese government has ordered all businesses that are not necessary for every day life (grocery stores, pharmacies) to be closed until February 9th. No way that the second biggest economy on the planet basically shuts itself down for several weeks with the infected/fatality numbers that they are reporting and expecting us to believe. Once again—their actions are not in line with their numbers. My guess is that the numbers are probably 10x or more greater than what they are claiming.

I guess even if you're wrong, if nothing else it shows why the Chinese government being shady as poo poo is a problem, because no one believes anything they say, and it just creates an enviroment of panic.

an interesting NYT article from inside China suggested that at least some actions are just giving people things to do or to create the appearance that something is being done. One example he cites is stringing up dozens of bicycles at his apartment compound, blockading all but one entrance, which is manned by guards. Manned by guards only after dark, for some reason.

You cannot trust the words of any government when there are monetary interests and public fear involved. Our own government also said that when Iran launched ballistic missiles at a base in Iraq that there were no casualties or fatalities. Several weeks after—it became exposed that dozens of our men and women suffered injuries. Had they been upfront about an Iranian attack hurting our troops-our markets would have panicked thinking that there was a real chance that tensions could rise to another war in the Middle East. No government is immune from spinning things in a way that benefits them—ours included. Believe your own eyes and believe your own common sense before you believe the words of ANY government officials. The numbers that the Chinese are reporting are so disgustingly and obviously low that it’s insulting to anybody that has common sense.

There's really no way to know whether or not those missiles caused damage or not. Missiles get shot around in the middle east all the time and do nothing, for example, Israel is constantly getting hit by random missiles that don't do jack.

President Trump has temporarily suspended entry into the United States for any foreign nationals who have traveled to China, the administration announced on Friday.

The action will restrict all foreign nationals who have been to China — other than immediate family of American citizens and permanent residents — from entering the United States.
Also I'd ignore anything posted on twitter, and most of what posters who post twitter are posting, especially posts from twitter.

Multiply these by at least ten to get the real numbers, guaranteed. So, almost 3,000 dead, over 100,000 infected.
