    Here’s a salient point from the article
    “There were 56,007 cremations in Wuhan in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to datafrom the city’s civil affairs agency. The number of cremations was 1,583 higher than those in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2,231 higher than the fourth quarter of 2017.”
    Based on those figures the deaths from CV-19 are closer to the official number than the article implies. Note that one of the reasons families could pick up the urns was the quarantine. Frankly I agree it’s hard to tell fact from fiction as to the Chinese numbers but as I noted China has 3-4 times our population. Having a infection and death rate 3-4 times higher could be expected. Also they were the first hit with no time to prepare we had as much as 3 months notice.

    Is China hiding COVID-19 death toll? 21 million cell phones disappeared, why?

    Since the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus which emerged in China's Wuhan, the pandemic has killed 15,374 people globally and infected 351,731 individuals. Recently the death toll in Italy surpassed the initial epicentre of the outbreak in China, where officially 3,153 people have died due to the COVID-19.

    this is just wrong.... you continually hide behind your laptop to demean and disparage anyone who disagrees with you with junior high playground taunts which typically center around male genitalia ( not sure about your obsession with that, but i suspect latent homosexuality is rearing its head - pun intended)....

    what makes it more frustrating is knowing that in real life you'd piss yourself if someone here confronted you for the things you say to others

    I dunno. Seems like he could be one of those old farts with a nasty left hook.

    your in a circular argument your citing offical Chinese numbers to confirm offical Chinese numbers.

    Trump has been President for three and a half years. Even if we are to strictly follow your logic here then Trump is at least equally to blame because he hasn't replaced the masks either.

    I've argued all I am willing to argue on this line my friend. We obviously disagree and this has devolved into little more than name calling on both our parts.

    You don't put a new roll on when you find it empty?

    Look, your answer is an obvious obfuscation of my question. So let me re-post what I said and give you an opportunity to actually respond with a relevant answer:
    How long has Trump been President? If what you say is true and I can't find anything other than right wing rags reporting this but even if it is true....Trump has had 3 1/2 years to have more masks made and he still hasn't done it? Why? Why blame it Obama? Did anyone from the Trump administration blame Obama for the shortage of masks until now? Nope.

    As I just told Kiki if you are going to use this logic then you it also applies to Trump. In fact, it has been documented that the Trump administration was briefed regarding the threat of a pandemic and still refused to replenish the masks. Why?
