So the videos of Chinese factories running their machines to get their raw Kilowatt usage up to use as a metric are wrong because the kilowatts would somehow be different if the machines were performing their designed functions instead of being powered on and moving partial cycles and this is all an american plot?

Its such an American way of thinking to conflate pointing something out with desiring or working towards it . The deaths are coming whether I like it or not. Hopefully a good political result will come from it. Given the demographics it seems likely.

Earlier this week the Party officials in a provincial village mixed up effervescent disinfectant pills and forced residents to drink it.

e: I looked for the cite I published earlier this week and can't find it; search is pretty clogged up on the keywords "china" "coronavirus" "disinfectant", oddly.

Thats usually not how usage is calculated. Whatever remote sensor setup they are using would just show the people at the utility kwh for the building. If its less than what's normal at full production that can be attributed to the factory being at partial capacity. Anyone monitoring the system would not be able to tell whether the electricity is being used for actual work.

Well iet me rephrase. You could look at past usage and figure out what spikes are normal and when, so flat usage looks suspicious, if anyone is looking for it.

Negative pressure rooms in hospitals are at a premium. If somebody is sick but not suuuper sick, the risk of them spreading it to someone without The Coof is too great.

If we are lucky, and i mean if we are REAL lucky, then 10-20% of people over 65 remaining will die, year after year, for a couple of years until herd immunity is fully established or a vaccine is developed. The electoral and political changes that would result would have a tremendous slowing or reversal effect on America's slide into open capital N nazi style fascism.

Just admit you lust for elderly death. I can respect that, but honestly desiring the decimation of a demographic group isn't much of an escape from fascism. If it was the decimation of a group that was an oppressing class, I'd be down, but old people as a whole are much more diverse of a cohort than that.

yeah, i mean i know china lies about everything but typically speaking to do more work you need more energy, like if you just sit in your car and let it idle it'll run for a day or two or whatever, but if you drive at 30mph you'll run out of gas sooner

if beijing knows what wuhan was using before the virus, and what they're using after is insanely low, why even bother with this exercise? it's this extremely convoluted system to lie about something when china can just say "operating as normal!"

and in the end, what are those idle machines actually doing? isn't something going to be expected in the form of output or is buying a week or two of "everything is back to normal!" all that matters? and if things are that dire that china needs to put on this extravagant theater to buy a week or two of good press, nothing matters and the world is loving done

like i'm too lazy to find a single day study but here's a 30 day study, and just idling a bunch of poo poo the readings across all the legs isn't going to look normal at all for demand

Look buddy, if I could make it so only old people with bad politics died I would, but they didn't consult me before they released this thing.

However you are right that I must be more lustful for elderly death than I thought. Having your country and environment destroyed by them will do that to you.

My parents and grandparents are already dead so perhaps Im being callous.

They're not doing this to lie to the politburo. They're doing this to lie to US. It is not possible for the CCP to prevent the West from gauging many of the things represented in these charts. As soon as they started getting widespread traction in the West to show they were completely lying about the "open for business" story line, the quotas were issued. Space-based analysis of things like NO2 emissions match this data as well.

Multiple worldwide agencies had a working test and offered it to us, some groups in the US developed their own tests and the CDC rolled out a completely useless test and Trump's administration was directly responsible for us being so behind on testing in part because of our broken test.

Trump is saying the CDC test is perfect even though everyone including the CDC acknowledges it was hosed.
