Many hospitals and funeral homes say they're being overwhelmed by a worsening COVID-19 outbreak in China, even as the government reports just a handful of new deaths from the virus.

Time to isolate them and lock out China. Let them deal with the virus they help create and spread! There is no way we allow this to happen again. Unfortunately the Chinese citizens are paying for the PRC's doings.

They want to fudge the world again. Lock Chinese in China please..

Shame that China are holding back over such world concern 🤷‍♂️

Deborah Birx, MD, coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said this when asked about people who have COVID-19 but die from preexisting conditions: “If someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death.”

From or with Interesting how the terminology is used to count COVID deaths. Didn't Dr Burks tell us that USA counts COVID death differently than the rest of the world?

Why are we being told this yet others who are in China are saying it’s not true?

Can someone find out why The vaccinated are dropping dead?

“Government reports just a handful of new deaths from the virus.” We would be better off using a magic eight ball to get accurate information regarding actual deaths. China may by sheer luck escape the worst, but only because the COVID variants circulating are less lethal.

Great Idea! Keep Journalists from being Urinalists.

When do you write about how Ivermectin knocks it out in hours? Or about how Fauci's NIH funded it in Carolina, transported it to Wuhan and released it? Nothing proves truth more than admission. twitterfiles

Just them cranking up organ harvesting. Here wait list is up to 5 years. In China 2 weeks.

It’s a vaccine outbreak 👍

We have no idea what is happening in China.

Urgent relief is here before it's too late to save the girl
