Happy New Year from Wuhan!!!

[oil&gas]

Vietnam has 35 deaths out of a population about 1/14 of
China's. 5000 out 1.4 billion died is not implausible.

Death rate is generally low in Asia. Maybe Asians
have healthier lungs. They are not as fond of smoking
weeds as people in the west.

oil&gas you are so wrong, the Chinese smoke heavily. What gives them the advantage is they've had to deal with many different types of respiratory viruses that they've built up immunity.

Except for AIDS and the Spanish Flu most of the contagions have come from China...still in The Iron Sheik I trust.

Right,,,,,believe what you will, so China has somehow got an official death rate less than 1% of any other large country anywhere in the world...Brazil India USA etc....
Even more incredibly they only have 370 active cases vs 8 million in the USA....sure thing....something is not adding up...

yeah, their government is not stupid. They have the money, technology, intelligence and authority to maneuver through this.

You can deny all you want but you can only cover up so much.

Yes the CCP can and will cover up a lot, saving face is more important to them than saving lives.
Never mind money and technology, a brutal months long lockdown did the trick, something that cannot be done in Canada/Europe/US without suspending their constitutions and charters.

Japan had until recently a high percentage of tobacco smokers. China has the highest percentage of smokers in the world.

It's hard to cover up hundreds of people dying daily. Don't care what country it is. Their numbers might not be accurate but the point is they got it under control.

We were on our way until our Gov. messed up.

 

[Mr Deeds]

No. Only people like you, who insert Trump into every conversation, are suffering from that particular virus.

Ya your right you really can't associate trump with the virus since he's done fuck all about it except watch while hundreds of thousands of people die

 

[WetSeeker]

There are several countries more F'ed up that the USA - the UK Italy Belgium Spain to name just a few with worse death rates
Having said that I am glad the Canadian border while not closed is at least not that easy to cross from the USA, a total shit show down south

Citizens of Wuhan deserved to have lots of fun and joy during the New Year celebration considering the great pains they had received during the very strict locked-down for months and been received blames from other people around the world. If their pandemic has already been controlled with perhaps less than 5 cases a day in Wuhan, then why not go out and had more fun during the New Year Eve.

We are here in Canada and most other countries around the world must be jealous the Wuhan's citizens because our pandemic has still been catastrophic with lots of daily infected and deaths.

In general, most of Asian countries have had lots less deaths and death rates than we are here in Canada, USA, Western world, Brazil, India, Iran, Turkey, and Latin American countries because Asian people in Asia have much less over-weighted and obese people than in other parts of the world.

Obesity is a factor esp USA but frankly I do not trust the CCP or their official #s at all, nothing against Chinese people but the CCP is evil and must go.
Most of the deaths here in Ontario are old people in long term care homes, that is truly pathetic and totally preventable.

Sadly, we are currently doing no better here. We started off well and then it all went to hell. Sigh.

If the CCP can get away with concentration camps and slave labor and organ harvesting, they can easily get away with hiding the virus facts and the stats.

Not hard at all for a totalitarian police state run by thugs bent on covering up and saving face.
Nothing would've worked here, short of closing the border and incoming flights from hotspots weeks/months earlier.

When people wanted to shut the borders from Wuhan they were called racist. People in Richmond Hill of Chinese origin wanted anyone who returned to Canada from Wuhan to be quarantined and not allowed to return to local schools for at least two weeks. They were called racist.
So Trudeau allowed 1 million people to return to Canada with just a questionnaire and a wave and look at the results - now we have requirements for negative tests before boarding flights. Nine months too late and the economy is fucked and lives lost.

I'm going to type this slowly in the hope that you people get it: t h i s t h r e a d i s n o t a b o u t T r u m p. My ORIGINAL comment was an attempt to prevent another poster from turning it into another pointless shit show.

North Korea handled it the best.

For 10 months? That's a lot of bodies to hide. And then you would have to explain why neighboring countries are holding low rates as well.

And they also had a 4 month head start on everyone else.

Some of you have to admit, we had things under control for a while and got to relaxed. This was doable.

 

[y2kmark]

Complete lockdown in the initial stages is one reason for their success. Not at all like in the U$A and other hot spots where the virus runs rampant.

No anti maskers, no anti vaxers and when the govt. tells the people to stay home, they stay home...

Or they are more used to wearing masks over there. It is not considered a loss of personal freedom to wear one.
