    I'd like to know how the person/s speculating on COVID deaths in China can somehow differentiate between actual virus deaths vs the 1000's of deaths per day from other causes ?...that article does not address this question.

    I mean, China has what, about 3.5 Billion people?...it would seem to me that the crematories are burning all of the dead, and not just COVID victims. But this does not deter from speculation from people creating conspiracy theories without factual evidence.



    Blindly tweeting and retweeting is another part of "the new normal".

    Well, some local residents are actually questioning it, as well.

    Questioning is one thing, speculating without facts and creating conspiracy theories is something else.

    The facts is, we just don't know...hell, for that matter, we can also speculate about the accuracy of our own numbers as well as other countries.

    CNN employees get them too. Speaking of CNN, how long have they said Fauci has been warning Trump? I need to know if this article is fake.

    One report I saw was based on the number of urns being returned to families, which was estimated to be somewhere in the 40,000 - 60,000 range. Much more than than reported coronavirus deaths and much more than business as usual. It sounds like many families are coordinating together to get a more accurate figure based on these urn counts. Could take awhile though and will never be 100% accurate.

    When people are clearly lying and rewriting history in only a couple of months how could we know who to trust?

    Going back and reading the articles from late Jan/early February you can't trust anything anyone has written about this.

    The World Health Organization? A total joke.

    Hydroxychloroquine? Snake oil they say. Except that from reading and actually hearing from people I know, most of the hospital staff treating patients are taking it. Must be a bunch of dummies.

    As for the deaths in China, we'll never know the true numbers. Cell phone user numbers way down? Could be all sorts of reasons. Might not even be down at all, I don't know.

    Haha. He’s had 3 years to fix the fucking system he says is broken.

    Trump sure wishes he had that pandemic response team created by Obama. In his mind it would save him from getting his panties in a wad when reporters ask him questions about it and he throws a little tantrum.

    In a rational persons mind it could have saved lives.

    here are yet more charts and graphs. These are interactive and you can highlight Oregon in the state graphs

    we're doing pretty well so far in Oregon, but it's inevitably going to get worse

    Problem with Oregon numbers is that we have tested very few so have no idea how many are really infected. I don't understand how an administration can fight the virus if we don't even have a clue of how many are truly infected.
