China claims nobody has died from coronavirus in their country for a whole month


I find that hard to believe. This is coming from the country that wasn't including positive cases in their tally if the patient didn't have symptoms (yeah, that's not how that works, China.)

Their shutdown (after they let people spread it around the world) was pretty militant. They welded shut doors on some people so they couldn't leave. People have to have masks to walk outside. Temperatures are then checked to enter shops.

I don't know about your country or city, but in Australia, it's way too relaxed. Barely anyone wearing masks. Most walking past the hand sanitisers at the entry of stores.

Maybe China's strong reaction has shut it down. But no more deaths? That's got to be a lie.

Nobody dies FROM coronavirus. Period. All the people in the world who died,had other diseases,or were obese,big smokers,or old people.

reply

Those people are more susceptible, but no, completely healthy people who are young have also died.

But not in China!

True. Two perfectly healthy sailors on the Roosevelt died from complications. As the other poster said though, COVID19 doesn't actually kill. It opens the body up to other opportunistic conditions, such as underlying health conditions or leaving them vulnerable to other pathogens. That's what happening right now in NYC with the kids.

pneumonia brought on by covid kills.

reply

CAN kill. So can pneumonia brought on by the flu.

reply

it kills

reply

It CAN kill. I've seen several people in the media who have recovered from pneumonia brought on by the corona virus. One woman was like 90 years old.

reply

True. A small group of healthy, young people have died, but that was also the case with the flu epidemic a couple of years ago.

CNN will report it as fact.

That's part of the plan:

The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.

[...]

However, a few countries did fare better—China in particular. The Chinese government’s quick imposition and enforcement of mandatory quarantine for all citizens, as well as its instant and near-hermetic sealing off of all borders, saved millions of lives, stopping the spread of the virus far earlier than in other countries and enabling a swifter post pandemic recovery.

[...]

China’s government was not the only one that took extreme measures to protect its citizens from risk and exposure. During the pandemic, national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified. In order to protect themselves from the spread of increasingly global problems—from pandemics and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising poverty—leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power.

[...]

At first, the notion of a more controlled world gained wide acceptance and approval. Citizens willingly gave up some of their sovereignty—and their privacy—to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater safety and stability. Citizens were more tolerant, and even eager, for top-down direction and oversight, and national leaders had more latitude to impose order in the ways they saw fit. In developed countries, this heightened oversight took many forms: biometric IDs for all citizens, for example, and tighter regulation of key industries whose stability was deemed vital to national interests. In many developed countries, enforced cooperation with a suite of new regulations and agreements slowly but steadily restored both order and, importantly, economic growth.

That all sounds a lot like what's going on right now, doesn't it? That's from the "Lock Step" scenario narrative from a paper titled "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development," published by the Rockefeller Foundation ten years ago (May 2010):

No, everything China says is the absolute truth 🙄

"Barely anyone wearing masks. Most walking past the hand sanitisers at the entry of stores."

Same thing over here and the numbers keep dropping every day. I'm not at all concerned.

That said, the Chinese authorities are a bunch of liars.

China just offered to sell me a bridge in Brooklyn and it seems like a sweet deal👍

reply

Nobody believes what China says about the coronavirus numbers!

I just hope the epidemiological scientists are getting at least some accurate information about the outbreaks there.
