Communist Party secretary literally told Hubei province leaders to stop reporting new cases, but Glorious China is definitely not covering it up.

Because influenza is everywhere all the time and COVID-19 is just starting. That's not even apples to oranges, it's apples to supernovae. And then the recovery to death ratio is totally different.

How many people die from flu in Hubei province? There's a real comparison.

Funny how they went from doing everything to downplay concerns as racist fearmongering about Glorious China, to direct fearmongering themselves as soon as they'd devised a way to use it politically.

I'm not sure how well feeding an off-site brigading narrative would go.

But I agree getting further isolated is fucking tragic, and ironic. They accuse the community of being a bubble and then do everything they can to bubble it as much as possible. Now there are threads of people deleting their accounts? Way to play into their hands.

Funny, they started the "don't bother with masks" thing back when this was all a racist panic instead of an opportunity to shill for socialized medicine.

April seems much too optimistic, I've gotta say. Quite a CCP talking point. Maybe we can stop confirmed US cases by then, but some relatively serious countries are getting so hosed that's just too fast.

'Cause not enough healthcare gibs. Never waste an opportunity to insist socialism is the proper answer. Just look at how well China, Iran, and Italy are doing! lol

If it fails to get a foothold in the US vs. all these other countries, it serves as an endorsement of our existing system, and they can't have that. Have to convince people ahead of time that it will be worse, and then claim it was just too late thanks to those damn Repiglicans when it fails.

Already known to have limited aerosol spread, no?

I mean, neither are Italy or South Korea, but yes, they have their own problems.

Problems similar to the Leftist hubs most at risk in the US. Ahem.

Imagine him taking the presidency and blaming his socialism's economic downturn on "inheriting Trump's legacy". You'll see benefits by the time I leave my second term, I promise...

It's too bad, I didn't realize it the end was incoming so fast and almost got my meager word in.

Thanks. It's sort of embarrassing how I expected this place to never be very useful.
