      Official government stats aren’t vibes.

      Also, no one counting is a coverup, same as it is in the US and every other country that isn’t properly testing to keep their numbers down.

      The scale of this coverup is just so much larger than everyone else in the world, which is what makes it hard to believe.

          I’m deciding that the real number might be as far off the official number in China as it is in every other developed country. I don’t think there’s any developed country that has a coverup on this scale. You aren’t talking about something that is “same as everywhere really”, you’re suggesting something totally unique that applies only to China.

              The only way this would possibly work is if COVID testing is never done on hospitalized patients who show symptoms or none is ever done afterwards to determine cause of death, and so hundreds of thousands of people are just dying from what would essentially be unknown causes without any specific viral agent being identified. That is absolutely a coverup!
