Are not necessarily to be believed. We are now hearing from our news media that the virus has peaked in China. I looked at a graph online, showed a flattening of the curve in China. Only. But I am reluctant to take it at face value. The government in China, for political reasons, has been less than forthright about what's going on with the virus in their country.

What I'm saying here is we shouldn't necessarily be encouraged by news from China that the virus has peaked there. Because that information may be doctored up by their government. We can hope for the best but not necessarily because of news out of China. If other similar outbreaks offer valid comparisons, the virus should burn itself out rather than wiping out mankind. And likely sooner than later. Like the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918. Which took the better part of a year. Hopefully, this will be shorter.
 
Meanwhile in America....

My son is a Cpl. at the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station. He just told me that his room is slated to be used for coronavirus victims. In other words......he has to get out. Yup....life of being a Marine. :eek:

Aloha, Mark
 
There was a Chinese party leadership purge in affected provinces around about mid-February.

Interestingly enough then released numbers seemed better. So, no, I do not trust any Chinese data. YMMV.

IIRC, that was following the huge bump in numbers when China started to include imaging (CT), not just viral testing. Meaning viral testing negative, imaging distinctly positive.
 
Name a government or country that doesn't lie. I'll wait.

I didn't say i dislike Trump good sir. :)
 
For my money, I don't know which government might be worse. Chinese or Russian. We know the never-ending Putin regime lies about everything to everybody. The Chinese government is communist, pretends to be capitalist. The Russian government pretends to be a democracy, is actually a totalitarian oligarchy. Both need to lie about everything as regime defense mechanism.
 
Chinese government is communist, pretends to be capitalist.
The Chinese government is Facist, calls itself Communist, and practices a form of Capitalism that makes US Capitalism look like Socialism or even charity.
They lie, more than the worst American politicians by several orders of magnitude.
They are clever.
Look at how the Regan administration bankrupted Communist USSR. This virus and its effects is like air burst nuclear devices to the US Economy.
Watch closely as we recover.
 
Anybody that trusts anything from any the chinese government.... call me, i got a sweet bridge for sale in boston.

FTFY.

If this whole situation is not enough to convince the liberal lemmings and anybody else who believes anything the government says or does, then we have no chance as freemen or a country going forward. The government loving honks are going to be very disillusioned when they find out their beloved government was completely unprepared to do anything to help the people out in times like this other than take your Constitutional freedoms away.

Let's just fast forward to boogaloo and get this sh*t over with. No sense in dragging out the inevitable. Never thought it would happen in my days on this earth, but that shows what I know.
