China doesn't have anywhere near the same level of privacy considerations that most Western countries have... It's a lot easier to stop the spread of a virus when you can literally keep the whole population at home at gunpoint until the virus dies out.

I don't know if there 100% accurate, but I can certainly believe it's not a big deal there compared to America. They literally shut down the entire country for weeks. Americans don't want to admit that doing things to fight covid works.

Their citizens are also taking it a lot more seriously than Americans are.

I believe their current lack of cases, but I bet more people died at the beginning than they admit

in general i dont believe anything a state run media group releases.

of course, there's a good chance their numbers are lower because chinese citizens aren't self centered fuckwads and their government actually can get away with forcing people to quarantine.

I'm just going by my relatives. They're all scared to go out and always wear masks if they do. Meanwhile, all my work colleagues are YOLO.

i thought even the numbers reported are estimates from sample sizes.

condition 1: exhibit covid19 symptoms
condition 2: pre-existing illnesses

having that kind of control of information grossly underestimates the actual number doesnt it. its done like that to prevent widespread panic. news media is controlled information. thats why social media clips were spreading news while news stations downplayed them... right

Didnt China weld people into their homes early in the breakouts?

Imagine the outrage if the police did that here in the United States lol.

They're corrupt enough to hide the numbers, forcibly lock people away, or both. Whatever the reality, it's was certainly a lot worse than they portray to the world.

Haven't there been numerous very large gatherings directly in Wuhan in recent months?

I would assume based on that, the virus must be under control over there. It seems far fetched to say Covid is still ravaging them while they hold super large gatherings.

Not saying China hasn't ever flubbed their numbers or done anything else shady, but it does appear they have things under control at this point.

It just seems pretty undeniable that America wants to have the least responsible reaction to this pandemic. Our country just sucks honestly.
