Tip of iceberg or complete diversion from a cover up?
After being accused of lying about the number of coronavirus deaths in Wuhan, Chinese authorities release a new, higher number. Exactly 50% higher. Could their bureaucrats be so inept at fudging numbers, or is a clever one trying to send us a message?https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/17/asia/china-wuhan-coronavirus-death-toll-intl-hnk/index.html …

Didn't notice the exactly part. Shame they didn't leave it as 3,868.5

One wonders if there was an urgent late night meeting about whether to round up or down.

When the numbers are to perfect they become the canary in the coal mine. Interesting take and insight that is gained from hard won knowledge

They will further revise upward as more global pressure is mounting for facts & some of their citizens are, with great difficulty, sharing info to d outside world, wch later may put Chinese govt in a difficult position.

Well that might have just shown the superiority of the communist system but having ~5x the number of urns to pick up at the funeral homes was a bit of an embarrassment.

Trump is under-appreciated. May not be the best guy, but he won't give China a chance

What's interesting is that China couldn't have perfectly scripted a worse outcome for them. Now, they're viewed as dishonest, most manufacturers are looking to diversify production sources, their own popular likely sees them locking people up who raised this issue..

Which is exactly why I don’t believe the conspiracy. It makes no sense that China would intentionally try to kill off its customers. That said, I’m all in on cutting ties where we can and bringing back manufacturing to the US (especially PPE & Meds)
