The Western Liars spitting out the false Coronavirus toll are limited. They might be able to lie about someone dying in a car crash being killed by ChiCom COVID, they can classify Pneumonia deaths as COVID, and do a lot.

But they mostly can't manufacture corpses to label as "COVID." They also can't really incinerate hundreds of bodies without record. And they have to at least make the Pretense of keeping an ongoing count of the cases. In no small part because Western citizens aren't totally cucked yet and the corrupt arsehats don't have a one party system where Comrade Hillary will lie about everything for them.

The ChiComs don't have any of those problems , or at least in nowhere near the degree their Mirror Image Western Propagandists do.

That explains how the US is up to 100,000 so-called Wuhan flu deaths, while Japan only had 800 (and no lockdown)!

You've grossly underestimated the degree of corruption in your country, anon.

Welcome to Socialism, Comrade. Where death itself waits for Comrade Xi's go ahead.

Not from this year's flu season, it doesn't. The Wuhan flu is harmless.

Ask the freaking Taiwanese.

Taiwan had a regular flu season. What are you talking about?

Wuhan Flu is a dangerous virus, just not a greatly dangerous one. It isn't going to end the world but it is something you want to jump on early.

The Taiwanese weren't as ignorant about that principle as you are. Which is precisely why- by recognizing the Coronavirus as the threat it is (no more and no less) they thoroughly kicked its butt without destroying their country or the economy.

Japan didn't overreact like Taiwan, and suffered comparable deaths. This is because the Wuhan flu isn't dangerous at all, it's just this year's flu season.

Both the Hysteria and the WuFlu are real dangers. The Hysteria's the greater one.

No, because we have flu seasons every year. There is no additional danger this year over any other year.

We've never had hysteria like this though!

And again, you do NOBODY any service by denying reality.

And where, again, in the world is this reality you imagine manifest?

You tried Taiwan, but it wasn't manifest there. Try again?

Or I can save you some time. The answer is "nowhere in the world. It's just a flu."

Which is again why you keep failing to discuss the early spread of this virus correctly (as shown by recorded history), and why the Taiwanese acting fast and smart turned it into a nonissue

But Japan didn't, and it still wasn't an issue. Weird!

while the idiots trying to deny that WuFlu was even SOMEWHAT dangerous in Florence and New York racked up deaths that could have been prevented entirely.

It wasn't dangerous there. Italy has a meltdown over every flu season, their health care system is in a shambles.

New York/NJ deaths are entirely attributed to moving this year's flu patients into old folks' homes. There was room in the hospitals for them, and the Navy hospital ships were there too (unused). If you did that any other flu season, you'd get additional deaths.

So while they knew it would not do "World Ending damage", they didn't know how much human or economic damage it COULD do (not much, as it turned out) or how to prepare to pre-empt it, just that it could do said damage. Which is kind of important for the CPC, since they are reliant upon economic growth to avoid people turning on them and that growth has been slowing by the month.

Their economy would have crashed around the same time, Wuhan flu or no. The tariffs are fatal to their economy, their foreign cash reserves are just about depleted.

Unfortunately, the staff on hand were idiots and many got infected (see the video above).

But when some of the medical staff tried to warn people about this

Warn people about what? That they invented a flu? That 0.02% of the scientists in the lab died of the flu they invented? How many people working in the lab would have to have gotten infected for there to have been a case to be worth warning anyone about?

the virus spread so widely it became impossible to hide or ignore. )

But it hasn't done this anywhere in the world, at all. Except for old folks' homes into which Wuhan flu patients were intentionally and needlessly moved.

And this is bad in a totalitarian regime that doesn't give a fig about human lives but cares greatly about how well its economy is doing. And while Socialists may claim to have transcended our economics, they have the same problems as the rest of us. So like us, the longer they stayed shut down, the more money they bled and the more people get angry. Only Xi faces the prospect of them getting angry not at Governor Whitmer and going to the Ballot Box, but angry at Him and going to war.

Their economy was doomed because tariffs. The virus was a palatable excuse for China to begin reverting to North Korea standards of living, which is all that China can afford to provide now that the US has erected tariffs.
