ddephor44465yLet's one second think that this was a show of force of China. Then it wasn't planned well.
Thing is, after that, many countries and companies will rethink their dependance on China and chinese products.
I don't think that this crisis will strengthen China.
And in terms of current numbers of infections in China, Russia and North Korea: Can you trust the numbers given by those governments? -
@ddephor but the thing is.. China doesn't do sprints, China only do 100 year Marathons ..
-
@ddephor i said the same thing to the WhatsApp forwardor. Even the Chinese government heavily censors their news. It is fairly possible that the death rates are increasing there but no one is supposed to say about it
-
endor56665yMeh, it started of fairly ok, but you lost me on the "Russia has no cases" line. They're quite obviously hiding their numbers and not really trying to cover that up; they've been reporting lots of "heavy pneumonia" cases, which basically means "we've got covid too but we don't wanna talk about it".
But I guess I'm just not part of the target demographic.
On a different note, people should really learn how to filter their own thoughts again. I really don't like what social media has done to them. -
Honestly I think there is more motivation by the media and certain political parties to "burn the world" in order to topple the economy. Then they can swoop in as the savior with their anti-capitalist propaganda. In my opinion mainstream media has become the enemy of the people. Which is sad, as it was the printing press that helped free the world.

Russia shares a border with China and has been preparing for it since China enacted their quarantine. Of course their numbers are going to be low compared to the rest of the world. Also I have family in China...there was no hidden cure lmao. This is insane.

@StopWastingTime There are people suggesting this due to huge amounts of cell phone plan cancellations; the main theory are they're mostly for people who died two months ago (since that teleco give you a 2 month day grace period on missed payments). It seems unlikely .. there are no other data points to suggest this, I can't find a reliable source and I don't think even China could keep the deaths of 300k ~ 1m from leaving the country.

@jbrandona119 I've heard people suggest the white stuff they were spraying in those videos weren't disinfectant but actually SARS-Cov2-S. There is an S and L strain and the S is more common now (L was more lethal) but if you're immune to one you're immune to both (see the recent Oxford study). So they might have been dosing their population with SARS-COV2-S ... not a cure, but the "safer" strain of the virus to immunize people
-
@djsumdog the last point is sick af. Who the fuck in his right mind would spread less lethal virus on their population? I mean even if its not very lethal, it IS lethal to some extent , and could affect weaker ppl and oldies.
Also, don't virus mutate when they are in excess? What of another , more lethal strand of virus erupts amd suddenly the Ppl carrying S virus becomes more susceptible ?
If even a pinch of it is true then bless the medical sciences, they work in a miraculous way -
endor56665y@StopWastingTime well, a vaccine is, at the highest level, a method to get your immune system to respond to a bacterium/virus that it has never seen before and create new "memory cells" for that specific threat, so it can respond immediately when it comes in contact again.
For viruses, they typically use pre-killed or 'deactivated' forms of the virus - which cause an immune response, but cannot cause any harm.
Sometimes though it's not possible to 'deactivate' a virus entirely for the vaccine to work, so instead they need to use a weakened (but active) strain of the virus. Imagine your flu shot giving you mild flu symptoms.
Now, I cannot comment on the truth of those statements, but if the situation were truly desperate and you needed to make as many people immune as possible in the shortest of times, I could see how spreading the less lethal form of a virus could become a viable option.
Arguably, it could be the lesser of two evils - again: if the situation were desperate enough. -
I think people should @StopWastingTime on this.
Edit: Even by posting this I’m thinking about it; God! Stop! -
@010001111 haha , i know.
Btw you were from iran, right? How is situation up there? You still healthy?

Get ready for a awesome conspiracy theory/ WhatsApp forward :D i like how people are coming with new stuff every minute of their boredom . Makes you ponder:
====================================

How to dominate the world quickly?
THE GREAT CHINESE STAGE
1. Create a virus and the antidote.
2. Spread the virus.
3. A demonstration of efficiency, building hospitals in a few days. After all, you were already prepared, with the projects, ordering the equipment, hiring the labor, the water and sewage network, the prefabricated building materials and stocked in an impressive volume.
4. Cause chaos in the world, starting with Europe.
5. Quickly plaster the economy of dozens of countries.
6. Stop production lines in factories in other countries.
7. Cause stock markets to fall and buy companies at a bargain price.
8. Quickly control the epidemic in your country. After all, you were already prepared.
9. Lower the price of commodities, including the price of oil you buy on a large scale.
10. Get back to producing quickly while the world is at a standstill. Buy what you negotiated cheaply in the crisis and sell more expensive what is lacking in countries that have paralyzed their industries.
After all, you read more Confucius than Karl Marx.
PS: Before laughing, read the book by Chinese colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, from 1999, “Unrestricted Warfare: China’s master plan to destroy America”, on Amazon, then we talk. It's all there.

Worth pondering..
Just Think about this...
How come Russia & North Korea are totally free of Covid- 19? Because they are staunch ally of China. Not a single case reported from this 2 countries. On the other hand South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit. How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?
China will say that their drastic initial measures they took was very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas. I am sure they are using the Anti dode of the virus.
Why Beijing was not hit? Why only Wuhan? Kind of interesting to ponder upon.. right? Well ..Wuhan is open for business now. America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially. Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China. China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present
THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world. So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this. . to topple Trump. Lately President Trump was always telling of how GREAT American economy was improving in all fronts. The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an economic havoc. Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump thru impeachment. ....so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus. Wuhan,s epidemic was a showcase. At the peak of the virus epidemic. ..
China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas. As President he should be covered from head to toe.....but it was not the case. He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released.
Some may ask....Bill Gates already predicted the outbreak in 2015...so the chinese agenda cannot be true. The answer is. ..YES...Bill Gates did predict. .but that prediction is based on a genuine virus outbreak. Now China is also telling that the virus was predicted well in advance. ....so that its agenda would play along well to match that prediction. China,s vision is to control the World economy by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus. Now China have other countries stocks in their arsenal and these countries will soon be slave to their master...CHINA.
Just Think about it ...
The Doctor Who declared this virus was also Silenced by the Chinese Authorities...
