Covid-2019 - 2022-12-21

In "Recommended Reading," a story about how "undercounted" Covid deaths in China will lead health authorities into disaster, by underestimating the threat. But the deaths aren't "undercounted." They are under-reported. That is to say, they are lied about to create the false public impression that all is well. Case counts are the same, as you can easily see on page 3 every day. Does anyone really believe that all year there have been no new cases in Wuhan? No, but it's convenient (but about like saying there is no chocolate in Hershey Pennsylvania). Don't worry that these official lies will lead to uncontrolled spread of Covid. As two and a half years of bitter failure world-wide has shown, there's no way to control it anyway (and at this point it is so non-lethal, it's of little consequence in the grand scheme of things). Thanks to a client for flagging this story!
