That virus is incinerated and cracked down on harder

Non-lethal strains continue to proliferate and spread

Viruses cannot reproduce without a host, killing their host will mean they are less successful at propogation

It's an arithmetic issue

given we have no idea the degree china is skewing the numbers

Let me guess you also believe the SO2 maps

A lot, especially if you know the men there are chain smokers.

the eventual death toll COULD be much higher than we are expecting

I don't believe ANYTHING China reports to be accurate

Those incinerators are working day and night.

I DO believe they have lost control though if it is effecting markets this badly

Haven't seen Xi in a while, maybe he got the cooof as well.

when they go back to work, it will be clearer regarding how realistic the numbers are

what concerns me is that this damn think can lay dormant for so long before manifesting symptoms

it sneaks right under the testing threshold

yup

makes me suspicious

I'll say this

Those tests are crap 60 - 70% fail rate

If the virus were anything to truly worry about

There'd be alot more people dead

And a reaction wouldn't have been delayed as it was in the US

lol; given we have no CLUE how many ARE dead

You think the alphabet boys don't know?

oh, one of those naive ones that believes their gov doesn't lie to them

i c

The gov does lie. They're out for their own self interests

Cant have a tax base when said tax base is dying of coof

Like I said

which doesn't really involve telling people the truth

If this virus were to amount to anything, there would be more of a reaction

in fact, if the death rate was higher, they'd keep a tight lid on it

No

The more corpses

The harder it is to keep a lid on it

China locked down couple of hundred million people, you don't do that for a flu.

they market's behaviour today indicates people are working behind the scenes

Yes you do

Even if it's not lethal, the fear can paralyze an economy

no, ya don't stop the entire economic output of a COMMUNIST country
