Truth! (the first casualty of war)
The web of lies continues to grow.
War is peace, up is down, left is right, and black is white
"In recent days, Chinese state-run media have begun focusing on the novel coronavirus outbreak in the United States, painting it as more severe than the epidemic in China.
Some Chinese media outlets also spread outright falsehoods—including a claim that the virus originated in the United States."
The ccp wants to spin the narrative that they did a better job of handling the coronavirus than the “foreigners” to add legitimacy to their power. Foreign countries have more accurate numbers while you cant trust the chinese figures. That makes it look like they did a better job.
This plan is working quite well unfortunately.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics!
Its all quite surreal here in Shanghai.
There is no air pollution and its still fairly quiet, most of the people that are out, are either going to work or returning home.
Most places are open for business, yet there isn't much activity.
Parks are closed, public gatherings are not permitted.
Supermarkets are danger zones, its best to order everything online and wait for delivery, even if it takes longer than normal.
Yikes. Im a little worried Canada will be like that soon.
Its annoying, but understandable given the circumstances.
As long as the power stays on and the internet still works, its not too bad.
I really want to do some long rides, its a bit risky, a minor accident might result in a hospital visit, which could be deadly in an unfamiliar area.
