lol the SO2 release into the atmosphere from Wuhan was off the charts. this wasn't normal cremation of dead people.

That series of conspiracy theories is based on people misreading interpolated forecast data off of windy.com. Measurements over that entire region are spotty, so places like windy.com use approximate models to produce a nice smooth heat map. When you look at the actual data from GOES satellites there's no unusual SO2 activity over Wuhan, and in fact SO2 emissions in that region haven't changed much in the last year

https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f19uc8/debunking_the_burning_bodies_sulphur_sulfur/

Case in point, if you go to windy.com and toggle the SO2 map you can see the same levels that show up near Wuhan also show up all over the world, especially in places that burn tons and tons of coal like Pennsylvania. Are thousands of infected corpses secretly being burned in Pennsylvania? I wouldn't put it past some of the weirdos in that state, but probably not.

Like it got posted here earlier because it's funny to laugh at people who believe in crazy stupid things, but you seem to authentically believe in them. Maybe stop posting for awhile and seek out a therapist? I don't know but you seem to be going through some poo poo

so apparently because the WHO has an effectively one-China policy and therefore considers Taiwan to be part of the PRC, a travel ban on travelers from China based on WHO recommendations ends up also including travelers coming from Taiwan

The crematoriums running 24/7 is plausible but not really anything to worry about. I live in the east of England with friends and family in the funeral business and the regions crematoriums often get over run during flu season or heatwaves. Funeral homes start over filling having to rotate body's between the fridges and the slabs. Hospital carparks get converted into makeshift mortuary's, its all covered on the local news and no one really cares.

It takes about 3 hours per body in the furnace before it can go though the cremulator to be milled down into the ash you get given.

Nice so their could be a delayed mushroom effect further down the line. might be quiet on the new cases front now [outside China], but that could change just with a delayed offset

My favorite Taiwan/nCoV news story is because the infighting between Taiwanese parties DDP and KMT and the general incompetency, they only managed to fly one plane of Taiwanese out of Wuhan, after that tge 2 Taiwanese parties went back to finger pointing and can't neogociate any further flights to evacuate the remaining 1000 Taiwan citizens out of Wuhan.

I really like this video conference setup. Now they just need to zoom onto the faces of the Wuhan doctors to be 100% authentic of the Star Trek:TNG setup.

This is interesting but tbh until we have more information I'd try not to read too much into it. It could be an extreme outlier or the person may have been infected several days after they think they were (how do they know the person was exposed exactly 17 days ago?), but if true then yeah lol just lol
