There's no way their figures could be accurate when they are loading dead bodies and taking them directly to the crematoriums, without testing them. They dont even have enough test for the living! The huge trucks blowing aerosolized mystery fog every where is not for the flu

Ya think?! Wow no sh!t

I think we are quite sure the outbreak is much larger given CCP's record of cover up to maintain stability. We don't trust their number from day one.

No need to be fear🤣 definitely much larger

Strep throws false negatives all the time that’s why they send them out to lab. You’d think that they were not relying on that!

China_is_terrorist WuhanCoronavius

not surprise, there are number of death body died outside hospital which is never classified as coronavirus infected pateint

The real figures is just times 100 and you will get there. Constantly 2.1% death rate, isn’t it?

We don't trust the locals especially in China..... they are not willing to provide real data to the World. So it's hard for us to believe what they say.

I knew we can't trust the data provided by China since day 1. The country isn't good at transparency anyway. What is important, therefore, is how the rest of us respond to the international public health crisis. Sometimes you gotta take painful steps such as travel bans.

I do start believing it is the chemical weapon carried by CCPChina

A finding from appledaily_hk also indicates that Chinese National Health Commission has changed their definition of WuhanCoronavirus. Those who tested positive for the virus but hv no symptoms will be removed from the list. How accurate Chinese data is🙃

s3v3n7_ The important things to note are that 'OMG this patient is asymptomatic' or 'OMG this patient tested negative and later tested positive' are not abnormal. These are fully consistent with how viruses replicate, spread, and cause disease.

CCP is only good at fabricating figures and creating surface stability. The CoronavirusOutbreak is Chernobyl China edition.

The real figures are surely larger than what’s shown when it happened in a communist country. Not surprised.

No doubt the real figures of infection are much larger; everything is fake in chinazi except liars.

Can't trust their data when they can define the whole virus away!

Quelle Surprise!

Can't say we're surprised.

The real figures could be hundreds of thousands times more serious. WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak

Chinese data? Haha! What a joke!

Wuhan Evacuees Hunker Down for Weeks in QuarantineHundreds of Americans have been evacuated from the Chinese city where the deadly coronavirus originated as authorities struggle to contain the outbreak. Those evacuees now face mandatory 14-day stays in military hotels. I haven’t seen one Caucasian or African who was in Wuhan, get infected, yet Is that a selective virus ? Those Chinese should have stayed to help fellow Chinese😫 The next question is how are the airlines cleaning the planes after flying people from there? Planes are notoriously dirty. How have they cleaned the air filtration system? Did they clean it at least as well as they did after Ebola which was not airborne?
