    If we can't trust authoritarian states who control information and suppress speech who can we trust??

    Not always but that’s most used version.

    It was my understanding that if you tested positive then you were considered cured after 14 days for stat purposes? A lot of traffic on KOMO so no luck finding out for sure.

    So we're plus +439 today thus far and China is +5. They have 4 times our population. Yeah, okay, guysm.

    Thanks for your help in providing accurate information and data to help other nations around the world.

    I'm relatively certain the US numbers are ginned by understating recovery, likely a few old age/diabetes/obesity deaths slyly recorded as COVID deaths, etc.

    But the ChiComs are liars. FUCKING LIARS.

    It's certainly plausible. But it's beside the point as you point out. This guysm are not to be trusted. Let the de-coupling begin. Let the hot latinas make Advil and surgical masks.
    REVOLUCION!

    Made in Venezuela is the new mantra.

    The thing that never made sense to me, and blows my mind that seemingly NOBODY in the media was calling this out and asking about it, was with what we’ve now seen not only in the US but throughout Europe in terms of spread, why was the spread in China non-existent? Seems way too rosy of a picture compared to reality.

    Of course, all of that goes against the narrative of blaming Trump for everything.

    Not saying he hasn’t had his share of fuckups in this (he has and so has just about every other leader), but it is seemingly looking like the impact of this virus was downplayed (plenty of examples out there) and the world has been scrambling to play catch-up.

    There has been a long standing thought that the “next big attack” was going to be attacking financial/economic markets and via cyber-terror. Few seem to be asking the question as to whether we were wrong in the the method of next generation warfare and the reality is that the attack was through biological means.

    At best, China is looking to be highly negligent and irresponsible. At worst, this is something they’ve been cooking up and looked at this as their upside was greater than the downside for the rest of the world.

    I am fully onboard the Chinese financial terrorism train. Fuck China. In their ass.
