Mao killed 50 million, so Xi better get moving if he wants to catch up.

He has a good handle on it. I suspect he will kill millions more.

Yesterday Bloomberg reported that leaked estimates from China’s top health authority paint a very different picture. China’s National Health Commission (NHC) held a meeting on Wednesday and the figures used in that meeting suggest about 18% of China’s entire population has come down with COVID this month.

It is unlikely that there are official statistics from any Chinese source which are truthful or complete. What gets "leaked" to foreigners is narrative from one faction which is intended to discredit or undermine other competing factions within the Chinese government.

Chinese officials may be unable to get truthful information even from their own factions to use in decision making. They may be completely blind as to conditions within their country. It is a common problem with totalitarian systems when they inflict harsh punishments on dissenters from an official narrative.

The Han people of China are one of the most ethnically similar groups on Earth. I can imagine if Han, for whatever reason, are more susceptible to COVID then it would make sense that ~25% of them could have it at the same time.

I'm wondering if this is why Israel and Japan took such drastic measures in making sure everyone was jabbed. If they didn't know ahead of time how susceptible they were genetically, then they would have needed to pull out all the stops to protect their populations.

Betting there’s no colds or flu though!

Just determined by fraudulent RT-PCR test with all false-positive.

Hopefully this will be Xi’s death warrant.

This virus breakout was already starting to happen before the protests. It was inevitable given the ability of recent strains to spread, even under China’s stringent lockdowns.

If true here is their small pox blanket they will donate to the world. I believe they have found a sneaky way of getting rid of people they don’t want and who are causing them problems

I’m sick too now, right before Christmas, which totally sucks. However, it’s not CoVID, just a headache, sore throat & horrendous cough. Could be worse I guess, but I feel pretty crappy, TBH.

For what is really happening in China with covid, listen to this discussion by laowhy86 and SerpentZA:

The China Show: China Just Made a Lethal Mistake, skip to the 43 miute mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1el71QjxPw

Partial transcript:
SerpentZA: ... we talk about how China is trying to change your mind through various means and ways and so on and specifically now with the covered restrictions lifted like that ripped off just ripped off the Band-Aid, they’re now trying to pretend to everybody that it’s a good thing and no one’s really in trouble.

Laowhy86: so before we get into this what I want to do is the reason that we’re gonna cover this is because what you won’t get elsewhere is probably kind of the reasoning as to why China’s doing what it’s doing currently it’s just a real quick synopsis before we dive into it, the Chinese government it wants to brag now about how many cases it has it wants it’s a government initiative right now to say yes we are getting upwards of 30 million plus cases per day they’re bragging about that at a state level to the people it was simultaneously saying but there’s only a handful of people dead you know in Beijing they’ve claimed seven right there’s an initiative right now to make people not report things they’ve changed the definition of what means it means to be a covid death and it’s chaos it’s absolute chaos.

SerpentZA: you know here’s the interesting thing that I’ve found is that before they rip the Band-Aid off the government’s stance was we cannot abandon zero covid otherwise you know a millions of people will die that was their whole thing and all the foreign shills the shills line they were like if we get rid of zero covid millions of people are gonna die ...

Laowhy86: because the government initiative said we will never abandon ...

SerpentZA: but that’s what I’m saying right now that they ripped the band a Band-Aid off which was the wrong thing to do rather than like slowly and making sure ... look they’ve had three years to get the elderly people vaccinated those are the people that are dying ...

Laowhy86: and to slowly roll something out of opening up ...

SerpentZA: exactly they’ve had three years more than three years to do it and they didn’t they just kind of put the lockdowns in place and they stuck with it and then they just let it go they just abandoned it right so there’s a big mistake on their part rather than doing it responsibly you know anyway now that we’re seeing the them lift off this uh the restrictions we’re actually are seeing a lot of deaths okay and it’s probably going to come true that a million plus people are gonna die but now the state is saying no we’ve got very few deaths and so are the propagandists and this is the annoying part right say you are a Chinese State propagandist okay and you’re just one of those guys a shill and you’re like millions of people are gonna die a million people are gonna die or whatever why not stick to your guns why do you always have to follow the the Chinese government like a friend one puppy dog ...

Laowhy86: one day you say no we can’t do this a million Chinese people are gonna die you’re evil if you say that China should lift Zero covid the next day they lift it all these people start dying then they go no they’re not dying it was good that they

SerpentZA: and and the government has realized that it’s not uh dangerous so

Laowhy86: leave it to the experts!

SerpentZA: exactly so we’ve seen in a flip-flop on of course the Chinese government and of course all of its supporters and this for everyone it should be a clear indication as to where these people’s loyalties lie and it also should be a clear indication as to the truth doesn’t matter in China no it doesn’t only the only thing that matters is the government narrative.

SerpentZA: so let’s let’s go through a couple of things ...

This was inevitable.

Lock down policies delayed the inevitable and made it worse.

Bingo. It is Dec, even in China. That is winter. Cold.

It is the bloody flu!! Always has been. Even when you deliberately muck around with it — and then release it for your minions in the West to use as an excuse.

Very good possibility, a way to get rid of a half a million dissidents. The socialist way.

Two coworkers and their spouses came down with Covid over the past two weeks and all four of them are “vaxxed”.

So Fauci helped create a true planet killer. And no one will investigate this murdered. Biden sure won’t and neither did Trump.
