    • question is how can the world handle this? if this hits india or africa, we can't stop itgrafician
    • Greta Thunberg won’t have to be worried about climate change anymore.NBQ00
    • Maybe this is the "solution" to climate change.yuekit
    • Lol Chinese factories close down reversing climate change...nature finds a way_niko
    • In all seriousness though, Zero Hedge and Epoch Times...this is like combining two of the worst news sources possible haha.yuekit
    • I've been checking this subreddit, seems like they do a good job calling out the fake information.

    • ^they banned reddit in china just because of these kind of threads so...grafician

    • chinese state bots reporting the account maybegrafician
    • btw, qbn is high ranking in google, this thread must be already flagged somewheregrafician
    • anyway, this is so bad for all those peoplegrafician
    • zerohedge can be trusted as much as breitbartmekk
    • 50000/1500000 = 0,0333
      96,66% survival rate
      Unless then 1,5M figure includes those who are not "ripe" yet

    • But for 1.5m to be infected, 1.5m lab tests will have been carried out. Which is not a reality. So that number is a guess and not substantiated.shapesalad
    • They are short on test kits, the test take time to reveal results. A patient will need at least two tests if on the road to recovery. So to say 1.5m infected,shapesalad
    • you need to evidence that at least 1.5m lab tests were done to show those were infected, not to mention those that are not.shapesalad
    • So bollocks to that. You can guess, you can model. But you can’t say today 100% that 1.5m are infected. Bullshit.shapesalad
    • also its written by Tyler Durden
      :/

    • Not sure if you trust Drudge Report or not, pango... but he posts ZeroHedge often / seems to trust him (but Matt Drudge also posts infowars—sooo... i dunno?)PonyBoy
    • either way, buy BDX, company that makes tube to transport sample and analyzer that tests sampletimeless
    • Drudge report? LOLGuyFawkes
    • Damn tabloidsGuyFawkes
    • Prison Planets where its atGuyFawkes
    • All I know is Tyler Durden is a fictional character in a fictional story. That's double fictional!!!pango
    • I found me zerohedge a great outlet of fringe news. But you need to have ability to figure out the same bullshit as anywhere elsedeathboy
    • In this case i never gave 2 second of thought about media hype on Sara Ebola pig flu. But something about this one is hitting my spider sense as more going ondeathboy
    • Especially with Chinas actions. Not sure I believe zerohedge sources yet and waiting for more news. But wouldn't surprise me if posted there first.deathboy
    • And the whole narrative of it orsnt quite pass the smell testdeathboy
    • Question: How am I "orsnt" surpised that deathboy considers Zerohedge a legitimate news portal?garbage
    • We have to take a grain of salt with every media outlet. Doesn't matter if MSM or alternative news. But ZH is also linking to other articles, outlets and tweetsNBQ00
    • ...so don't kill the messenger. It's just interesting to read non-official stories on this topic because I'm sure Chinese gov is doing some cover-up.NBQ00
    • Yeah but not all unofficial sources are equally reliable. If you're posting this stuff for entertainment purposes fair enough, but I'd hope no one actuallyyuekit
    • thinks it's real. The Chinese billionaire mentioned in the article is well known for spreading made up stories. The woman on Twitter they keep citing works foryuekit
    • Epoch Times, newspaper started by the Falun Gong which is basically a religious cult.yuekit
    • Here's a debunking of the "China is burning bodies" rumor
      https://www.reddit.c…
      yuekit
    • Yeah and you're using reddit for news sources.NBQ00
    • Why is Reddit bad though? At least on there you've got people able to call out something that's fake or inaccurate.yuekit
    • All I'm saying is, the real situation is bad enough without everyone spreading rumors that are probably not true. Ultimately I blame Chinese government,yuekit
    • there is no transparency or trust and so people fill in the gaps with rumors.yuekit
    • The Chinese government is probably the last one I'd trust on this.NBQ00
    • holy fuck @ "orsnt"
      garbage, you are killing me lately, lol
      BonSeff
    • I love garbage trys to troll my zerohedge as possible news and neglects ukit Reddit... I submit as bias subject Adeathboy
    • I just think this time vs the previous years has a bit of difference. And I have little faith in any news by source. Usually have to read it and see if bullshitdeathboy
    • The thing about open information is our real lack of knowing. Now after following controlled and limited media. Hence big changes in tech. About 1-2 electionsdeathboy
    • From aws, google, Ms being absorbed by gov like huaweideathboy
