Fair point lmao, you'd do great on the political circuit.
All I'm saying is if I'm sitting there dropping a deuce and a half and I hear peter piss hands not wash his hands. You bet it's a little disconcerting.

Sometimes the prosaic wins

Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As many experts question the veracity of China's statistics for the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Tencent over the weekend seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures.
On late Saturday evening (Feb. 1), Tencent, on its webpage titled "Epidemic Situation Tracker", showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (2019nCoV) in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure.
The number of cured cases was only 269, well below the official number that day of 300. Most ominously, the death toll listed was 24,589, vastly higher than the 300 officially listed that day.
Moments later, Tencent updated the numbers to reflect the government's "official" numbers that day. Netizens noticed that Tencent has on at least three occasions posted extremely high numbers, only to quickly lower them to government-approved statistics.

I'm not totally sure how much faith can be put in that report. While I don't doubt that China is deliberately under reporting the real numbers I think the WHO might have stepped in by this stage if they're that high. The other thing that I'd wonder about is how Tencent got those numbers in the first place- they're close to the PRC government but I don't see why they'd be getting those numbers in the first place.
Was thinking about that. If true we should start seeing an increased lethality outside of China.
Interesting how this happened when there's protests in china...
Yes Ft. Derrick is the home of the biological research and development command.
I was there for several years as part of the SMART-AIT component. Of our national bio-terror defense program.

Apparently not dead. So, must not have had dirt @Ooh-Rah
Yeahhhh....maybe, maybe not. I have seen dead, I have seen "in critical condition with attempts to resuscitate", and I have seen brain dead (which is, you know, dead...), ALL within the last 45 minutes......
Apparently the state of medicine in China is so bad they can't figure out what alive vs dead is....
It's probably more related to the state of journalism...which is also not particularly strong.

I think she was PVS, not brain dead. Brain dead is dead.
