One unexpected benefit will be the rendering near-useless of all that Police face recognition software. Until we are all issued with a unique face mask ID number label in the required bold font to be clipped on.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) â€” As many experts question the veracity of China's statistics for the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Tencent over the weekend seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures.

On late Saturday evening (Feb. 1), Tencent, on its webpage titled "Epidemic Situation Tracker", showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (2019nCoV) in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure.

The number of cured cases was only 269, well below the official number that day of 300. Most ominously, the death toll listed was 24,589, vastly higher than the 300 officially listed that day.

Being a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, could this be PHEIC News?

It's been obvious for a while that the official figures are nonsense. I've been wondering just how/when we'll find out the true picture, and what the impact of sure a revelation might be.

This article may also be junk - but ~20,000 deaths seems more plausible than ~500.

that would put the death rate around 15% or so

I have been following the news for a while over here:

http://www.avianflutalk.com/latest-news_forum3.html

It's the usual mix of guff and horror, but they have interesting stuff including huge numbers of twitter videos which I can't technically watch. Basically there are films of body bags in hospitals, apartments etc, armed hazmat paras on the streets, knocking on doors. Real grim reaper stuff. I don't believe we will be told the facts except by historians in 200 years.

I forgot to post we are also being hit by a significant bird flu and swine flu outbreak and that vast African locust disaster which we should discuss somewhere. We are one bad harvest from starvation.

Be interesting to know what's going on in Govt intel circles. They'd be aware
of dodgy data and it would be left unsaid to save face. A big thing in Asian culture.

China found to be reporting numbers ten days old shock horror

Doesn't really make that much difference, what with the doubling rate, eh.

I've been paying close attention to Twitter, whilst there's no verification and any individual video could be fake or a different evert entity - there are lots, and just the number of them adds credibility.
