Maybe. Maybe not. That article is worthless though.

It's best to wait for proper evidence. Otherwise we are just getting sucked into a 'yellow man bad' agenda.
Couldn't give two flyings what colour/race/religion you are. Corona sure as fuck doesn't either. I just wish that during this global issue, we could globally be honest. Iran were being dodgy with their reporting too apparently. The more information we share, the better chance we have of trying to beat it.

Husband went to Safeway yesterday. They've got it all in hand. Perspex glass sneeze protectors for the cashiers, and they have taped markers on the floor so you know where you can stand. You have to queue in the same queue and you're called over to the checkout after the person has finished.
Safeway in my neighborhood has been like that for a while. Cleared out shelves too.

Well yellow man was bad.

They sat on important evidence for weeks. Their whistle blower doctor was killed/died as he tried to disseminate information to the wider public and world.

The virus ground zero was a wet market, an allegedly banned practice since other outbreaks.

They have a lot to answer for.

We have stop pretending they are anything like the west. They are not despite the western style towers popping up in their cities.

China has been on lockdown. There is also the mystery of 23 million phone subscribers suddenly stopping and China telecom now not releasing that data because of the government crackdown on that data.

At best they have been hugely irresponsible.

When the dust settles on this we have to look seriously how we interact with China. We should not put profit above everything. We should manufacture more in our own countries. Sorry to sound like Trump but on this he has a point.

China is not working in our best interests.

it's probably safe to bet that all information in and out of that country is controlled by the communist regime

I'm such a dork. When I wake up at 5am and have to get up I'm fine because my very gay local news anchor is always on TV.

He wasn't around on Friday because he took the day off. Worried me messaged him and he responded saying he was fine and he'd see me Monday. Seriously got tingles, heart skipped a beat, I'm 2 minutes away from him being on telly.

I've only been to a chemist and a small grocery store a couple of times in like 3 weeks and saw no difference to normal. I'm happy it's being taken seriously in a big supermarket.

Even with the glass, after a customer leaves, they sanitise the conveyor belt etc before the next customer.
You've lived in this country for 10 of your 76 years.

That's long enough for you to start saying "pharmacy/pharmacist".

No I haven't. Dial that back 4 years, knob juggler.

If I changed my vernacular you'd have a pop at me for quitting my Brit stuff.
No I wouldn't, Agnes. I would commend you for speaking in a way that could be understood.

are they using some Nazi Medicine secrets?

Any death of positive cases, if they could attribute it to something else, like, the underlying condition, than that is what they've reported. Another country being deceptive.

I'm not saying you do. But look at the two countries who you have brought up being accused of fudging their numbers. What do they have in common? Not exactly best buddies with our governments. And maybe they are fudging their numbers - I wouldn't doubt it for a second. However, the Daily Mail reporting that some unnamed random dude told them about some urns is not evidence. If we are trying to sniff out bullshit, let's start with potential bullshit we are being fed.
