End of #SocialDistancing in #Wuhan: How are Wuhan people celebrating their first extended vacation since the city lifted lockdown a month ago? And where did they visit? https://t.co/X9xHTN7dlk pic.twitter.com/G0FzkYQd5y

Just … LOL.
China locked down Wuhan on January 23 when there were 17 deaths in Wuhan and 444 cases in Hubei province. The Chinese military quarantined Wuhan and Hubei province. The lockdown officially ended on April 8th. 700 million Chinese were locked down in February. In three weeks, China crushed the virus outside of Wuhan and Hubei province. It was over by the middle of February.
How has lolbertarianism worked out in the United States? There are 1,131,280 cases of coronavirus in the United States. We have had 65,766 deaths. Unlike the United States, the virus was never allowed to establish itself outside of Hubei province in China. There were 8 deaths in Guangdong and 22 deaths in Henan province. 9 people died in Beijing. 231 have died in Washington, DC.
If the Chinese response to the coronavirus was cruel “totalitarianism,” what does that say about us? Donald Trump and his donors decided to “ride it out” and “think of it as just the flu” in February. New York City and other hotspots were never quarantined. As a result, the virus has disrupted OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY and we are now in for a TWO YEAR ORDEAL. The lockdown has already lasted longer here than it ever did in China. In most places in China, it lasted for two weeks and virtually no one died.
We currently have 903,951 active cases of coronavirus in the United States. There are undoubtedly millions of Americans who are infected and who haven’t been tested. Tucker Carlson wants to “Reopen America” in the middle of an epidemic. He assures us that it isn’t that bad. There were a lot of people in China in January who thought the Chinese government overreacted in locking down Wuhan, but they have almost certainly changed their minds by now after watching how the virus has played out here in the United States. No one in China wants to trade places with Americans at the moment.
Suppose we had done what China did with Wuhan in this country. New York and New Jersey would have been quarantined for two months. In half of the United States, there would have been a two week vacation lockdown. In the other half, life wouldn’t have been disrupted at all. Now try to imagine that the only people who died from the virus were in New York City and this whole problem had been nipped in the bud in three weeks and we were over it and life had already returned to normal.
The ultimate irony here is that China cares more about the lives of its citizens than Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson who care more about the GDP.
“To be honest, during the lockdown, some people contacted me in private and said they thought that the country had overly responded to the epidemic and that the economic loss would be too great. If it weren’t for the later ability to compare the anti-epidemic performance of Western countries such as the US to China’s, we may never have known that China was right in almost every step it took starting from the Wuhan lockdown. If China had tackled the virus the way the US is doing, millions of people would have been infected and 100,000 to 200,000 Chinese people would have died.
Many things happening in other countries are surprising. Isn’t the US a democratic society? How come American lives are so much “cheaper” than Chinese lives? China would not accept high death tolls from the epidemic, but in the US 1,000 to 2,000 people die every day. US President Donald Trump really doesn’t seem to be taking people’s lives seriously – all for the sake of an election …”
It isn’t China that is going for “herd immunity” and writing off the elderly as useless eaters. It is “pro-life” conservatives on FOX News who are ready to engage in human sacrifice to save the economy.
Note: If what we are hearing now is true, the death toll could climb to 2.2 million before herd immunity is reached in the U.S. Good luck explaining that as the flu. So dumb.

The plan (if there was one) for dealing with the outbreak in the USA was probably made in early September: ignore it.
Covid A was loose in the US long before it reached China so all Trump could do when the Chinese raised the alarm was to ban testing for the virus until March.
Francis Collins, director of the US National Institutes of Health, said the virus might have been spreading quietly in humans for years, or even decades, without causing a detectable outbreak.
CNN host Chris Cuomo said he believes there will be revelations showing the novel coronavirus was spreading in the United States as early as October. “The kids now anecdotally, Cristina believes, that at least two of them have had it in the last few months. Why? We don’t know, but atypically long-duration sinus, fever, lethargy. I think we’re going to learn that coronavirus has been in this country since, like, October, that there have been cases,” Cuomo said. “And as you guys both know, and I hear all the time from all over the country, how many people do you hear saying, ‘I think I had it, I had this and this, I lost my sense of smell and this and that, but I never got tested’? Those cases are, like, abounding all over the country,” he added. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/chris-cuomo-predicts-evidence-will-show-coronavirus-was-spreading-in-us-since-october.
Chinese reports are faked and the actual number of cases in China is clearly underreported. Doesn’t take much brain to see that. Communist governments nearly always fake statistics. We know that from the Soviet Union, from North Korea, from East Germany.
Greetings from Switzerland.
Brad Griffen, alias “Hunter Wallace”, has
apparently taken an hour or two off from slandering Corona-chan.
maybe he’ll read this and give it a rest altogether:

Some comments from the Occident Comment section:
HW, why do you believe any of the “information” coming from China, especially since the expulsion of foreign journalists?
I’m not sure what to make of the Chinese numbers. On the one hand, I wouldn’t put it past the CCP and just the Chinese mentality in general to lie in order to “save face.” On the other hand, I wonder if it would be really possible to keep a lid on it if it was much worse. (Hunter seems to have forgotten the vids he was linking to in Feb that claimed it was waaaaay worse than was being reported in China. Supposedly, people were dropping like flies left and right.) Also, other east Asian countries with relatively freer governments, have had similar success in containing it, so it could well be the China numbers are real.
“I’m not sure what to make of the Chinese numbers.”
They’re a pack of lies.
There’s no way they can arrest the spread of the virus in such a vast populous nation, that abruptly.
Something very dirty is going on.
I don’t think Griffn will answer them. Perhaps some of you covid-cowards will, or perhaps you geriatrics are tired of the whole discussion already.
I have a question of my own. Why the hell should a non nomie non boomer non zoomer trust the official numbers?
This is one of the many examples of someone told to lie.

How about a citation.
Why do you Wignats at the UNZ review have a hard-on for China? Are you kidding me? That country has been a cesspool for as time immemorial. The Chinese are insect people, with little to no capacity to maintain their own country without foreign help and intervention. The Han had been ruled by superior Steppe peoples for millenia and once the rat race known as the Han came into power they murdered 30 million people and sent their aristocracy to live in Taiwan. The idea that China is some bastion against the Global South that IQ fetishist gay nerds like to quote is a complete lie. These people live in squalor, sleep with chickens and only manage to score decently on IQ exams is due to their rat like diligence to test-taking, when they’re not stealing tech and scientific discoveries from the West.
1. You don’t have proof, evidence or even any reasonable ground of suspicion that Chinese reports/numbers are fake. You only have your gut feeling, prejudice and emotion to base on.
2. If Chinese reports/numbers are fake, how come the millions of foreigners couldn’t notice that? How come the deaths and infection of foreigners in China are proportional to the Chinese reports/numbers – i.e. very low?
3. If Chinese reports/numbers are fake, how come they can lift the lock-down and re-open the economy now.
4. China implemented very drastic and decisive actions. If Chinese reports/numbers are fake, are you implying that those actions are not sufficient, and China should have done even more?
5. If Chinese reports/numbers are fake, why are their numbers consistent with other East Asian countries’? Are the other Asian countries reports/numbers fake too?
6. If Chinese reports/numbers are fake, why did WHO think China did a great job? (OK, I know what you want to say. FYI: WHO is funded by many nations, not just China. In fact, before the defunding, US is the biggest contributor – so why did WHO need to carry water for China? What is WHO’s incentives for selling out to China?)
If you ain’t already there Braddy boy, phuck off to CA, NYC, MI, pronto, or better still , phuck off to China and enjoy your idiotic totalitarian lockdown life style in “comfort”. Even better, take a long walk off a short pier, at full tide. And good riddance, you worthless, totalitarian commie moron.

Are people stupid?
If you quarantine everyone for 3 weeks the virus is eradicated
The virus needs to spread, otherwise the immune system kills it. It constantly needs to infect new people, make more copies of itself to continue the cycle etc..
This is why there is no corona virus in China. They implemented a quality quarantine and now the virus is no longer there.
Life has gone back to normal in China.
In fact if we did this with aids, quarantined everybody who had it and did mass testing we could have spent a couple of million dollars and the problem will be solved, instead our government screwed up and we ended up spending billions over the past 50 years on aids.
Destroying corona is extremely easy, the Chinese government has no reason to lie, in fact it would probably cost more manpower and money to cover it up and treat the infected than solving the problem
Its like a broken oil pipe, far cheaper to plug the hole, then to keep the hole open and spending billions to endlessly clean up the oil spill.
Sinophobes are truly dumb people
No way we can maintain these lockdowns for much longer with Trump and Lindsey “over my dead body” Graham at the helm. Thanks flu truthers. Your idiotic libertarian cult really saved the day. We could have been like “nanny state” New Zealand. We could have taken this seriously and defeated Covid-19 in about 2, maybe 3, months before things got back to normal. But nooooo. Muh fredum was just too important. Gotta fire up those grills. Gotta open those beaches. Gotta rush Georgia’s nail salons. Summertime swinging. Now, hundreds of thousands will die. M.I.T model now says ~170,000 deaths by August. Wow … just wow.
USA vs Coronavirus. First arrogance, then horror. We’re gonna have to throw in that towel soon.

Thank goodness we have Brad regurgitating the faked numbers for Uncle Sam (like he did in the 2016 election. Hey Brad, remember when I was explaining how they lie before the election and you ignored my warnings, only to coolly admit after helping elect the jew bag Trump because you had no discernment?
I remember.
What happened? You got even worse.
If you like the Chinese way of doing things, then fer chrissakes just phuck off to China and enjoy your idiotic totalitarian lockdown life style in “comfort”. Even better, take a long walk off a short pier, at full tide, you worthless, government worshiping totalitarian commie moron/slave.

“We could have been like “nanny state” New Zealand. We could have taken this seriously and defeated Covid-19 in about 2, maybe 3, months before things got back to normal. But nooooo. Muh fredum was just too important.”
So phuck off to NZ, CA ,NYC, MI, or China, you stupid little totalitarian twerp, or go play on the freeway while blindfolded [and masked, of course 😁]. And good riddance.
“Regards” onebornfree
Typically insightful comment with lots of useful information backing up your opinions.
Nice to see you put some thought into this instead of just regurgitating Mike Pompeo’s talking points.
As a racial and political realist, I understand that Han gonna Han, but the personality cult of Zion Don has gone off the rails on this as have the Hoaxers and ChinaDidIts.
China can fudge its figures but as you point out, they aren’t the “Matrix.”
As Brad has stated here and on his own site, if this is some totalitarian plot, why are lockdowns ending even in authoritarian countries like China?
If someone refuses to even consider anything that doesn’t fit their exotic theory of choice, there’s no point in arguing with them. Let them froth and foam.
Did Trump put you up to this?
As usual onebornstupid blesses us with his wisdom.
Ah, my old “pal” Brad/Hunter/Fade/etc (it’s an uncountable number of online identities by now)…..he was a shameless, flip-flopping attention whore ten years ago, and he’s only gotten worse with time. He must have been in hog heaven the other day, seeing 200+ responses here, all prominently addressed to him – and even if all those responses were calling him out as a charlatan screeching fire in a (now-empty) movie theater….so what? They’re all screaming my name, just like I always knew they would!
Those of us who’ve followed his virtual breadcrumb trail over the years knew the dopamine rush of being the momentary belle of the ball was going to result in a flurry of these nonsense posts from him….as they have. But don’t get too attached to that RED CHINA #1 giant foam finger – Brad having made a quasi-career out of arguing from both sides of his mouth, he’ll be pulling yet another complete about-face just as soon as he requires another fix of All Eyes On Me.
Lot of deaths in USA are unaccounted for Lot of Covid cases are still not counted and included
NYT has been saying that now for a while
Even accepting the evaluations of the Chinese performance from US UK or Germany at first blush ,one is left with many possible explanations for under-reporting or counting that do not fit with the expectations with US UK or Germany . Expectations are to start any straw argument ,find any fig leaf , locate any Curveball ,find any dossier from any sewage and throw it at the world hoping it would stick
By the way France has found the first case in Dec 27 2019 A person with no contact with China Chinese and no h/o travel . Lets ponder over it .
He’s One Born Fried, a Milton Friedmaniac.
Well, it’s now Sept 2020, and we have 190,000+ Americans dead and soon 7 million infected. Tens of millions unemployed.
Thank You, Donald Dumbass Trump and all your low-IQ boot-licking cronies. And also all your even lower IQ dick-sucking MAGA supporters.
Herd Immunity? Good luck with that. And all the IQ surveys show that Chinese/oriental IQ is like on average 10+pts higher than “american” IQ. Now we know why.
Moral of the story: Never elect an orange Orangutan with a peanut-sized brain and a button mushroom-sized dick to be your President.
What a tragedy. What a disaster. Are we winning so much now that we have become sick of it?
As for Tucker, go back to your favorite Nevada flop house with yr previous best friend and maybe 20 more BJs will make you see reality more clearly, you truly are Tucker “BJKing” Carlson, with your weird close-set eyes and I-am-having-a-BJ earnest expression.
Tucker Carson thinks Trump won the first debate–feet in mouth. Objective stats indicate opposites in infections and fatalities – and likewise 3 Trillion to bail out the USA economy. The good American people are being held hostage by a criminal cabal controlling the scene.
