Can you understand the language in this video? The woman in bio-gear said that over 90,000 were infected according to the subtitles.

I only have the barest Berlitz-level conversational Mandarin, from expensive classroom lessons I signed up for many decades ago, but what she seems to be saying is that 90,000 are dead. The rest of the subs are more or less right, based on my iffy listening comprehension, but the 90,000 number is not of the infected, but the dead. If that number is true, they’re going be digging mass graves with excavators, not burying each person individually. That will be visible from satellite intel, assuming the burials are carried out during the day and recon sats are taking extra hi-res pictures of areas of interest. Unfortunately, we won’t be privy to any of those pictures unless Trump declassifies them (unlikely, to avoid giving away just how good - or crappy - our satellite intel is).

NB I had my iffy translation verified by a native speaker. The video’s narrator does say 90,000 dead, not infected. If so, I’d expect mass graves, but it’s possible bio hazard teams have been deployed to transport the bodies elsewhere to a place where they can be disposed of without being photographed from above.

My wife is Taiwanese and said the translation is DEAD not infected.

90,000 DEAD

I read apost about this video here on FR in which the poster said that they understood some Chinese and the word wasn’t “infected,” it was “dead.” Either way, it is understandable why they are dealing of a major metropolitan area.
