If you want some Crazy numbers, look up how many less cellphone users there are in china over the past 3 months.

with landlines and mobile carriers combined, there's been a drop of up to 21 million users.

now, lets say even two thirds of those people just didnt renew their contract, that would still leave around 7 million people dead/unnaccounted for

SPEZ: SHILLS In The Comments. Upvote everything!

SPEZ2: I am also considering that many of the phones could be robocallers, click miners, mining rigs etc. But 21 million? Somewhere here the numbers are fucky. not to mention china's disease graph looking completely different than any other countries
