And how are they at ZERO cases. That's what annoys me. It's impacting the entire world, yet China is doing so well. It doesn't make sense.
There's so much cover-up that it's obvious.
I don't think anybody will dispute the fact that China had under-reported their cases. However, I do not doubt their success today. Why? I was visiting a city 2500km away from the epicentre when Wuhan was officially shut down, during Chinese New Year. This was a city that had no cases of Covid-19. What happened in the ensuing days are as follows:
1) Every business was shut with the exception of grocery stores and pharmacies.
2) Hotels were closed to new occupants.
3) People stayed home and only went out to get essentials.
4) Roadblocks were set up at major arteries to screen traffic.
5) There were daily door to door visits by city officials to check if there were fresh outsiders that visited homes.
6) Trains services were gradually stopped, highways were being closed and air travel was restricted (I was lucky to get a flight out).
7) Visitors from Wuhan were immediately sent to a quarantine centre.
While there were a few people caught for visiting friends and relatives and some restaurants caught for illegally hosting dinners, the general population thought it was best for everybody to stay home. Meetings and social gatherings were cancelled.
So far I have not seen any other country (citizens) sacrificing that much freedom for the collective good. Yes, perhaps the virus originated from China, yes perhaps the CCP had withheld information. However, we were there to witness horror videos coming out Wuhan, we were there to cast doubt on their figures, we were there to condemn the CCP, we were there to make derogatory remarks about the Chinese since Jan/Feb. It's almost half a year since and while China has more or less recovered by staying home, the virus still ravages where people prefer freedom, the sun, the sand, etc over the collective health of the population.
For some reason I see some people/governments blaming China/CCP for their woes while doing absolutely nothing to combat the virus and want China to pay. For that, I will end this post with a quote of the title of a thread by
