    And Trump wants everyone to go back to normal function? The numbers will only get worse.

    True. We know those numbers are far greater than are let known. The only reason we know the numbers we do is because that chinese dr that made it public. He's dead now presumably from coronavirus.

    This was why I posted the article about the drop in Chinese cell subscribers. Their big 3 has never posted a subscriber base decrease at any time over the past decade, yet they dropped over 21 million customers combined over January and February. And we're supposed to believe that they only had 80K corona cases and 3K deaths total, in a country of 1.6 billion? As @dviss1 used to love to say, "If it doesn't make sense, it's not true".

    Yes but what is more funny/interesting is Charlie Kirk arguing for workers rights and health care.

    The communism virus is replacing the coronavirus.

    McCarthy is rolling over in his grave

    Hey, maybe the coronavirus can reanimate his corpse in zombie form and he can campaign against a third red scare.

    China is lying, but they also put in basically draconian laws concerning movement and taking people off the street. Used an app to restrict people from making any movements. Red light/green light shit.

    We had people playing soccer last weekend while they are supposed to be on lockdown.

    Should we do it Wuhan style then? Force people into steel boxes in the back of trucks and cart them off if they don't stay in...execute them out of sight and dump them in mass graves, then lie about the numbers?

    Yes. If this is a life/death pandemic, you need to be absolute. The stay at home orders have been pathetic. People are still out, going to starbucks and shit.

    EXCLUSIVE: 'Gift from God' coronavirus 'cure' touted by Donald Trump is promoted by a FAKE Stanford University 'researcher' who is actually a cryptocurrency-hustling Long Island lawyer whose bogus science paper was removed by Google
    • Trump has repeatedly touted anti-malaria drug chloroquine as a 'cure' for coronavirus, calling it a 'miracle from God' and a 'game-changer'
    • But the first person to promote it as a potential cure is revealed to have posed as a Stanford University researcher when he was nothing of the kind
    • He is actually a cryptocurrency entrepreneur and member of his family's legal firm in Melville, Long Island
    • Rigano, 34, who uses his parents' address on public records, wrote a bogus scientific paper with another crypto investor, an opthamologist from Michigan
    • It touted chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine as a potential cure but was removed from Google's public documents for breaching their terms of use
    • The document claimed to be supported by Stanford and University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers but both institutions say that is false
    • Rigano got his document tweeted by Elon Musk then went on a string of Fox News shows, not correcting Stuart Varney who called him 'doctor' three times
    • The 'cure' was then touted heavily by Trump at the White House - despite Tony Fauci using the same briefing to say evidence for it is at best anecdotal
    • Rigano set up a secretive LLC in February and has previously tried to raise funds to 'cheat death, cure cancer and end Alzheimer's'

    I think your news isn't correct, or at least not telling the whole story. I saw the stuff about chloroquine as a possible cure from Japan back in february. They were starting trial tests for it then.
    I don't have a ton of time to look it up, but here's a quick link from mid-february.
