Chilling.

This would explain why they were building crematoriums as far back as December, that we know of.

So, are you thinking the cause is that 21 million died, or that the facial recognition requirement, followed by the health coding requirement may have caused so many phone to go dark?

[petitfour]

Mandatory facial recognition and tracking via cell phone . . .

[2banana]

21 million unexpected dead in a few months time would have the dead stacked like cordwood on every street corner, park, parking lot and would fill every stadium to capacity.

Sheer BS.

21 million dead is 21,000 piles of 1,000 corpses.

And not one photo or video...

Or it could indicate, that many people simply disconnected their cellphones, because the government wanted them to include their health information, on the phones.

Note the last paragraph.

If that were true then that would be happening worldwide, unless the continuing mutations of the virus have made it very weak. That would also postulate that the virulence of the 1st generation of that virus was without question the worst. Any comments? That would also explain the problems in Italy with their large Chinese population in that one province.

[Beowulf9]

Can this really be true?

[lepton]

Deaths due to the CCP virus may have contributed to the high number of account closings.

Well, I doubt the dead closed the accounts. It’s rather quick for non-payment closings here in the US.

[Candor7]

So in truth, the genuine number of deaths in China was around 21 million?

Thats far beyond what has been officially reported.

Perhaps they just could not pay for their phones without work?
Or perhaps they left the city and headed home to rural areas?

21 million deaths is very hard to believe.

[Fungi]

Maybe they could not pay their bills, decided to stop using cell phones, switched off their extra cell phone, or a number of other parameters. This means nothing without pertinent information.

[DarthVader]

Garbage!

[proust]

umm, can you hear me now?

[Vermont Lt]

They got on a real good family plan.

A guy on youtube noted that all the Chinese Tourists have disappeared from other countries around the Pacific, the only Chinese they are seeing are ones that have moved out of China.

It appears China is trying to keep anyone from discovering what is going on in country by cutting interaction with the outside world as much as possible.

I suspect the 21M fewer cell phones has more to do with the country suppressing information than people mass dying.

[Jonty30]

Based on the European numbers, there is no question that China is lying about their numbers. They could be anywhere from 6x to 20x the official numbers. I can believe 1.5million or 2 million, but not 20 million.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Sensationalistic jumping to conclusions.

If this were another source, I would call it political fear-mongering.

[kingu]

It would not surprise me if the death toll from the virus was higher, but it would shock me to the core if the suicide/murder number was lower than deaths due to virus. A friend there lost six relatives who killed themselves to protect the families and to not be a burden.
