Some things are so remarkable one is forced to say “wow!” followed be “hmmm.” Things like President Biden uttering a coherent sentence or the Detroit Lions winning a football game.
Or the “fact” that the world’s most populous country hasn’t suffered a single fatality from the coronavirus in the past ten and a half months. And only four since April 18th of 2020. Even though it suffered 1,290 deaths in the 48 hours prior to that date. “Wow!
How to account for this? What could possibly explain this? Is China flat out lying? Certainly. China doesn’t want the rest of the world to think it is responsible for the pandemic, it wants the rest of the world to think it has defeated it, due to its remarkable, broad-based competence.
On the other hand, the United States appears to have deliberately and significantly inflated the number of fatalities it has suffered. Why the difference?
