Coronavirus: Anger is growing at China over COVID-19 and its apparent cover-up attempt

Is the suggestion that 2m people died of the virus in that period? Or did the cuddly Chinese Communist Party find a solution to two million dissident/undesirable problems?
I know nothing! But it was also mentioned that most of the Chinese riots before Christmas the worst were in wuhan! Who knows!

According to an American podcast I listen too, China lost 2 million cell phone customers over the coronavirus period
Who knows if it’s true but I think it’s believable
this is interesting, the super super rich guy that's moved here, buying up farmland, pubs, businesses, opening a high class hotel, and grounds, is meant to have amassed his money, from a fraction of a penny, each text message, sent in china !

Plenty of people see it my way actually.

Yes people will put up with it for maybe 3/6 weeks but after that without a clear exit plan from the lockdown they will not put up with it for very long.

And don't forget in the UK since yesterday the figures have been massaged to show a much higher death rate from the virus than is actually the case.

If for example say you are having a heart attack and are short of breath and tell the 999 operator that when you call then but drop dead 10 mins later that death will be recorded as being from the virus and not the heart attack even thou you haven't even been tested for the virus!

UK death rates year on year are actually the lowest this year for the last month for many years!
I thought the idea was, total lockdown, till 'under' control, then partial ease, to get more herd immunity, and a slow easing, to achieve that immunity, in the population, until a vaccine is available.
But, the public, will not stay under lock down for a prolonged period, it's one thing for us, as farmers, it's annoying, and a bit disruptive, but we are pretty much carrying on as normal. Imagine you were cooped up, in a flat, or small house, in a city, with kids, must be bloody awful !
And, the fact is, it is not a disease with a high death rate, for the world to be put on lock down, there's either more to it, than we are being told, or it's panic reaction. That's not saying it's not serious, millions have had it with no complications, we are told, once you have had it, you are ok, to me, it seems things don't quite add up. One thing trumpet trump has said, probably very correctly, the cure, could be costlier than the disease.

You try telling the likes of @JP1 the above and he will have a melt down.

GUTH please stop tagging me in all of your rants throughout the forum. If you actually pause and listen, this morning with my moderator hat on I deleted an entire thread which was aimed at you personally as I felt it was unfair
Would you delete another one if stuck scrupulously to the facts, but he still felt traduced? :unsure:
