Ya, why is no one asking why the rest of the world hasn't had the people just dropping dead in the streets like they publicized so much in the beginning??

Had the same thought recently.

They played us. They know we care about our children's lives so we took the bait.

And now the children wear masks, sit in plexiglass cubicles, and do recess in squares drawn 6 feet apart and can't interact with each other.

Turns out the Chinese communist party has to approve all outgoing video footage. It was most likely fake or staged as propaganda via social media. Chinese communists love their propaganda, it's the form of warfare they are most competent in.

It was a reaction to the trade deal, which de-leveraged their ability to exploit American industry to siphon off cash. Therefore, china virus was DRUMPFS FAULT! I should work for CNN

My question is how come India isn’t a hotbed given the huge amount of slums with population densities over a million people per square mile they have.

Because they take HCQ regularly for malaria prophylaxis.

Yeah, what’s the story behind that? My guess: Fake numbers from China!

My guess is Chinese virus and Chinese propaganda designed to give China the opportunity to surpass the United States.

Eastern_shoreman 11 points ago +11 / -0

I think they did it because trump was fucking their economy up and the rest of the world was sticking with us so they came up with this virus to get the economy of the rest of the world to tank too.

We are supposed to believe that their lockdown was 100% effective, that a densely populated area of 80 million had their cases drop suddenly...because they're just so good ya know

China literally turned people away and refused to allow hospitals to report new patients. They still died by the hundreds, but it was never marked as the WuhanFlu.

Any information coming out of China is Communist propaganda. Not "a little bit true," or "could be possible," it is flat out Anti-American Communist propaganda.

I hate that "tracking websites" exist like these. all they do is provide fear porn for obsessive people who keep crying over "mUh (big number) dEAthS"

keaster [S] 15 points ago +15 / -0

Fear porn designed to keep us in line. How much different would a flu map look? What if we blasted flu death numbers on the news every night, would it look the same?

It is possible that the virus was worse if it was bioengineered.

Genetically modified viruses do not retain the altered portions, and instead quickly revert to their origin virus after a few generations.

A virologist I found back in February was following covid and had predicted based on the mutation rate that the virus would die out within 2-3 months.
I'm apt to believe he was right.

8
keaster [S] 8 points ago +8 / -0

Yes I heard that too. Something about how the gain of function viruses deteriorate back into normal viruses over time. I'm not a scientist though, so I can't verify.

4
Thiswillbeintheexam 4 points ago +4 / -0

Nah there's nothing intrinsic to the creation of a bio-weapon would cause that.

The reason this is expected to happen is because extreme infectiousness is the number one characteristic of any engineered bioweapon. Extreme infectiousness creates trillions of viruses in millions of hosts. All of these viruses have an ability to mutate. Some of them might mutate into a more lethal strain, some of them a less lethal, some of them more infectious, some less infectious, but the ones that will win this arms race will be the most infectious, and the least lethal because they will spread the farthest, while leaving antibodies behind to impede the performance of the other strains.

Once it settles down we'll be left with a virus that only propagates when it's mutated enough that our antibodies don't immediately recognise it and destroy it - I.E. a seasonal flu.

IF the virus was so contagious... and

IF the virus was so deadly... and

SINCE China is one of the most populated countries on Earth... and

SINCE Wuhan has a population roughly 20% larger than New York City... THEN

... Wuhan alone should have roughly similar numbers as New York... AND

... China would have proportional (or proportionally close) numbers to the other countries

But no. Weird, huh?

helenvsgladys 10 points ago +10 / -0

The liberal perspective right now is that the rest of the world has mostly recovered because they did what they were told and wore masks, while the US is doomed to experience wave after wave because sTuPiD rEdNeCkS don't Fucking Love Science. This is why we keep seeing these "no social distancing at Trump rally" articles, they're preventing self-serious liberals from asking questions by telling them "only the stupid people don't listen to the experts. You're not one of the stupid people, are you?"

And the BLM protests were?... ?

(Understand your analysis. But, if that's true for "dumb rednecks", it's true for BLM supporters).

2
sun_wolf 2 points ago +2 / -0

The corporate media has been very successful in compartmentalizing the news in people’s minds. Like they somehow have people vaguely convinced that the Covid news segments and the BLM news segments are taking place in two different worlds. Almost like how you don’t expect the killer from Law and Order to show up in an episode of Friends. Both take place in New York and are on the same network, but they are compartmentalized into two different universes that do not intersect.

keaster [S] 15 points ago +15 / -0

How many people live in China? 188 active cases???

Our media and politicians promoting lockdowns like it's a normal thing because China said so?

We destroy our own economies and China is 100% fine and nobody talks about it?

New Zealand and Germany are examples of "Leadership done right" but China completely eliminates the infection overnight and nobody cares?

spezisacuckold 12 points ago +12 / -0

To be fair China’s Communist government has always been lying about the numbers.

zoober_floober 12 points ago +12 / -0

Comrades, comrades...

The low case count in China just shows how effective and efficient the collectivist system is.

(I was just now told this on the phone by an NPC relative. I wish I was kidding. It's what we're up against.)

Clearly the video of them dropping in the streets was faked, as well as the welding of the doors. Not that those people aren't all dead, but China wanted the video to spread.

3
TheEmperorProtects 3 points ago +3 / -0

Those videos probably weren’t fake, they were just people the CCP was killing for some other reason and they used their deaths as handy propaganda

Imagine following what China does...

4
ShampocalypseWOW 4 points ago +4 / -0

Their cases dropped to zero because they stopped actually testing.

It's very likely that the virus WAS very deadly early on, but such viruses quickly mutate and usually become less deadly rather quickly.

RexCollumSilvarum 4 points ago +4 / -0

Chinese cases dropped to "zero" because they're covering them up.

Some dude in China had a lot of masks to sell and no one buying them, so he came up with a brilliant plan and now has no inventory.

Don't you dare stop whispering those sweet, sweet truthful nothings in my ear baby...

2
Johnny_Treason 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yes let's talk about that. Let's also talk about the fact that they hoarded all the masks, gowns and gloves in anticipation of this and then sold them back to the rest of the world at exorbitant prices which we greedily consumed to protect ourselves from a 'virus' which they purposefully released.

Those numbers are fake, China’s still experiencing outbreaks they just lie because thats what China does.

PropagandaWizard1984 2 points ago +2 / -0

It's almost like the Chinese Communist Party crafted a psychological weapon to crash the US economy. I am sure they tapped their paid operatives in US and European politics to further the PsyOp as well.

Trust me I am a wizard of propaganda, I know PsyOps when I see them.

Keep_on_winning_kag 2 points ago +2 / -0

Don't forget the propaganda videos out of china that showed people dying in three streets in perfect formation.With people in hazmat suits to make it look even worse and more deadly. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX2qBAGRssM

molecularpimpin 2 points ago +2 / -0

Well the whole thing was a bioweapon-propaganda war against the US, so...

CaptainWilliam 2 points ago +2 / -0

China got spooked, then returned to normal. Children in China are back in schools, no masks required. Business back open. Only masks required for public transit. Seems like the rest of the world is seriously over reacting or in America's case using this for political and financial gain.

China would voluntarily shut down their entire economy for weeks (which was already on the ropes from DT45 kicking their ass) if the virus wasn't legit? Stupid. Don't fall for the bait. The virus is real. Take it seriously. Act like a fucking idiot AFTER the election. Don't get sick and die before voting. After the election, go nuts.

5
keaster [S] 5 points ago +5 / -0

Never said the virus wasn't real. The idea of a lockdown is the real problem that has been pushed on us by China.

1
sun_wolf 1 point ago +1 / -0

Their economy was already in the tank. It totally makes sense to tank an already tanked economy if it also means tanking every other non-tanked economy in the world. This strategy is also completely consistent with communist philosophy, that seeks justice by bringing everyone down to the bottom together.
