China's disparity of Coronavirus figures

It doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Yes of course, common International practice.
Just confirms what we all suspected.

It doesn't surprise me either and raises the question, what else are they covering up?

No surprise here!

Why would anyone be surprised at all?

If that is the case and let’s face it, it undoubtedly is, it goes against all those on here criticising our government and citing China’s sterling efforts at containing the outbreak. I never believed it and I doubt those in government, here and abroad, did either. I have read several times that several million mobile phone contracts in China have shut down. They’re hiding the true scale of this outbreak over there.

Whatever China did or didn’t do, our Governments response has been sadly lacking.

At the beginning of the outbreak in China when they were shown building a new hospital within a week, I thought then, why are they doing this because the so called death rate at the time was really low. I doubted then that their figures were accurate and believe it even more so now.

Probably still not telling us the correct figures obviously a cover up.

They must have realised we’re all not as green as we’re cabbage looking.
?

And WE are also not recording deaths as coronavirus either,

I’m sure if we had been told how many people in China had died in January and February our Medical Experts might have offered the Government different advice. But nobody knows the true death figures.

And obviously if we (and others including China) aren't able or willing to record (for example) nursing home deaths then the whole counting thing becomes even more complex.

NotSpaghetti We’re talking millions in China. Anyone that seriously believes that China managed to stop this virus spreading to Shanghai, but couldn’t stop it spreading to the rest of the planet is living in cloud cuckoo land. The young doctor that spoke out conveniently died. Others have gone missing. Russia too seems to have gotten off very lightly. None of it makes sense.

I wasn't surprised as pandemics kill millions, not thousands.

I don't think it was "convenient" as I understood he died of this virus?

Also, I'm not "supporting" China, just pointing out that everyone is doing it.

Are they telling the truth now? I reckon you could add two noughts on to the end.

They interviewed some medical head from China on the radio yesterday- He said the disparity is Liberal propaganda- I turned off the radio- The abundance of lies and blame majorly outweigh accountability- Its sickening ..

China will tell us what they want us to hear.
With no evidence whatsoever to back up my theory I think the death of the young doctor was not a coincidence.

PamelaJ1. I agree with you, thought it all seemed too convenient.

Yes, it’s all very suspicious, in particular the death of the young doctor who tried to warn the world.
But I’m also suspicious of our own numbers and the numbers of other countries. I saw the article about the advice to our doctors no longer needing to record deaths as Coronavirus if the person happened to have another condition. To me, that’s massaging the figures, but why? Also not including deaths from Coronavirus that occur in Care Homes or deaths that occur at home. Why not? I’d like some answers. Also NotSpagetti’s link about Spanish deaths. Why are democratic governments trying to massage the figures?
I’ve said on a couple of threads, I think our government were too late in reacting, that’s why we’re where we are now. We should have acted sooner, two or three weeks sooner in my opinion. A lot of things we’ve done right, increasing ITU capacity and opening Nightingale hospitals, but we lost valuable time going down the ridiculous policy of ‘herd immunity.’ I’d like to know who the scientists were who gave that terrible advice, but they’ll be shielded by government and we’ll never know. I wonder if they can sleep well at night?
