Those of us who have the opportunity to cross-reference US media claims vs Chinese media can very well tell who is the real aggressive propagandist (having spent two weeks listening to media while in China and comparing even before CoVID-19 appeared made very clear just how pervasive propaganda in the US media really is).

However why you take his comment out of context and insert CCP in it. When he was talking about Taiwan's and S.Korea's data.

Yellow fever won't give you more ventilators or face masks.

If the US can keep fire arms production within its own borders, why can't they do the same for medical supply production.

Only 57 died in Japan. Basically the number of dead people are 1/200 of ordinary flu, though a certain famous 70 years old comedian (he was heavy smoker) died by corona.
Some analysts say that countries that doing BCG vaccination as a duty can lightened damage of corona. Compare Portgal and Spain. My concern is north America, Italy, Spain, France.

Eh, even you cannot 100% say with a straight face China's casualty numbers are not under counted (after all, even you accepted earlier that 26K fatality count in Wuhan from funeral urn counting is reasonable and that's still much more than official count) or that they didn't horribly botch their initial response (and the ongoing communications AFTER-response by engaging the US in an ever more ridiculous narrative war)

Do we really have to kiss the ground Xi walked on? Really? No, everyone in the world behaved like fucking assclowns, be it China, USA, EU and the rest of the world.

The pandemic showed in plain sight whatever was shown in movies and video games could happen DID happen!

Guys at Muv Luv Alternative criticized that individual nations CANT be so dumb to put their OWN interests above the survival of the species as a whole. Wrong! Some nations I wont name here really did put their own interests above the greater good.

Or

LOL people cant hide zombie bite and risk the survival of the group! Wrong! Infectees did say FUCK to the quarantine and come infect EVERYONE because maybe THEY believed they could make it alive.

Or

LOL people do read the news and wont do something stupid like shopping while zombies are feasting on everyone in despite of governments warnings? LOL NO look at the stupid fucks who went to festivals, vacations and religious meetings.

Humanity is stupid is my take on the whole pandemic.

I've been checking US right wing chatter

There are a few prominent ideas that have gained traction

1) US is overreacting to Covid19. It's a conspiracy against Trump to crash the economy and make him lose the election

2) hydroxychloroquine is a wonder drug that cures Covid19. Leftist and globalist are suppressing this truth because they don't want the disease to be cured.

3) Fauci is a sleeper agent of the Democrats/Globalist/Big Pharma and he is trying to undermine Trump

My take would be that nationalism will always forgive ineptitude and corruption (unless they see it in another country).

Another thing I have learned, as imperfect as any statistic might be, the more totalitarian a country is, the more likely death tolls are under reported, democracies with a free press are quite unlikely to do so (unless again, they are talking about foreign countries where they have no means of getting closer to the facts).

Really? You're proud that there are currently more people dying in other countries than China?

Yes because the Chinese media is known for its objectivity and honesty.

If I wouldn't see it black on white right here in this thread I couldn't believe people are having a pissing contest about who is doing worse/more evil while the pandemic is causing deaths all over the world.

Before this thread becomes a place for political/nationalistic shit-fest, I'm just going to ask everyone to take a deep breath, step back and then stick to the topic at hand. Post here only if you have anything related to the topic without delving into toxic circular opinion about nationality, politics, racism and all the other good stuff that riles people up to no end. The thread is about the spread of the virus which is equally affecting millions of people all around the world regardless of who we are.

I'll start deleting posts from here on if I'm not making myself clear.

Oh man, I do not know if I should laugh or cry, in the city where I live (which has important beer breweries) the governor (as part of his covid-19 press conference) said yesterday that since beer production is not an essential activity, therefore production (and distribution) will stop tomorrow. Forget panic buying of toilet paper, there was a real frenzy to buy as much alcohol as possible, one viral video described the scenes as the end of the world even! They might not be so far off, since many people might have gotten infected as they crowded supermarkets to get the booze. I expect sooner rather than latter to see bars and similar open illegally to sell "imported" beverages, seems like we will get a taste of the prohibition

"Shoot them dead": Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte orders police and military to kill citizens who defy coronavirus lockdown (CBS)

I don't find that order surprising, with his war on drugs. Will the cop and military apply the order? let's hope than it won't go that far.

Technically he meant shoot to kill extreme leftists and "dirty commies" who violates quarantine by congregating and protesting in the streets, but we know how he never really clearly says what he means, which is most of the time.

Edit - Also can someone fucking tell me why Dr. Fauci is getting death threats of all things?
