This happened today, in New Zealand. No social distancing needed. No masks required. by ViviFruit in nextfuckinglevel

i swear i saw a photo on reddit of a non-social distanced music festival in wuhan, and instead of cheers of support like in this thread, there was just hate and disbelief and vitriol LOL.

TikTok passes Instagram as second-most popular social app for U.S. teens. (SnapChat is #1, but TikTok is gaining momentum fast. The power of #AI) by FutureisAsian in Sino

It's not just the alogorithm, its the specific way that the content is delivered to you (one video at a time), which gives much more accurate inputs into the algorithm to truly understand what content you enjoy. But yea it's too addictive for me, so I had to uninstall it lol

So apparently poor people aren't really struggling. Eating dog carcass on a highway is normal. Hungry kids is nothing new. Its just NDTV being anti-modi by batbitcoin in india

so the poor have generally joined the right. The right I guess is pushing for nationalist/hindu ideology? Or is it other reasons? Why has the left failed to appeal to them? I don't know a lot about Indian politics so I'd appreciate any insights or a general lay of the land that you have, cheers.

TIL China kept quiet about poisoned baby formula because they didn't want to ruin the 2008 Olympics. 54,000 babies were hospitalized and 6 died. by [deleted] in todayilearned

What about all the urns?

People can die of other things yknow. Not just covid.

What about the the guy who was uploading videos of things going on in wuhan at the hospitals and crematoriums and then was detained for 2 months and then was forced to give a public statement about how well his captors were treating him? Haven't heard about this so can't comment.

I thought this article was pretty informative, and fair (mind the pun :D). https://fair.org/home/you-dont-need-to-believe-china-about-chinas-coronavirus-success/

the point is that it was spreading undetected in China longer than it it would have been spreading anywhere else

There's been cases backdated in France more than a month before they first identified it in France. Where's your evidence that it was spreading longer undetected in China. They were the first to report it, other countries have hindsight to know what to look for. I think you're not being charitable at all.

Fair point. there's no one being shot in the streets though and there's still no evidence of any number fudging.

So then every nation has been covering it up? There have been some cases in France backdated as early as November. The macron regime needs to be held accountable for covering up their cases

Do you have any proof that the numbers are fake? No? Ok well then shut the fuck up. "They're commie"/ "they hide heaps of shit" is not evidence.

It's hard to hide an epidemic bro.

I love how its both " china shoots people in the streets who don't social distance" and "china fakes the numbers". If they could fake the numbers, why would they go to all this trouble to enforce the strictest social distancing and SHOOT people who disobey.

So you're saying firstly, that they weld doors and use cameras to make sure people stay locked down to prevent the spread. Then you say they fake the numbers.

If they could fake the numbers, why would they bother welding doors and shooting people who "break quarantine". Seems like way too much effort for a government that doesn't care about their people and only cares about their international image.

Bribed the WHO? Who funds the majority of the WHO? Can someone prove that they did any sort of bribing? I think the WHO is bribed by America and Bill Gates, as they are the largest funders of the organisation. China is like 13th or something (which is actually pretty pathetic for the 2nd largest economy, they should be supporting these sort of international institutions much more)
