    Ya know… Maybe they really did have phenomenally low COVID numbers this whole time due to their aggressive lockdown policies. Maybe they “flattened the curve” very effectively, to the point that the main surge got pushed out this far.

      In Hong Kong, after not getting sick at all for 4 years, I just had the shittiest case of flu that I can remember.

      I know everyone likes to call Chinese media state propaganda and swear by all that you read/see in your own. But is corporate controlled western media really telling the truth? You don’t know you only have their word for it.
