I think one of the best agruments against the it's a hoax, and all media hype, is communist China. Their media is state controlled, I don't think they care much about their own people, but they do care about their ecomeny. So for them to go in lock down tells me, the threat is very real.
Best we listen to the folks who do this for a living in my opinion. And not someone without absoultly no knowledge, spouting his or her pet theory
China is no longer in lockdown. Was most of China ever in lockdown?
I agree with trusting those who do it for a living. This does not include the news stories or politicians (unless they include their sources), where most of everybody’s information is probably coming from.
I prefer to look at the raw data that is published from reputable sources and draw my own conclusions.
If that is how you analyze the data you may want to steer clear from any "news" out of China. Your first and subsequent statements do not reconcile if you are a fact person.
Point taken. I saw some (untrustworthy?) news where they were complaining about all of the people out on a tourist trail, along with a picture of crowds of two-way traffic wearing masks.
I don’t use any of the China data to form my opinion of how we should precede. Not that it matters as I’m not in charge anyway. :)
