This is not a thread where you'll be bashed for your political views or anything else. I just want to try to get ahead of this thing and come up with possible scenarios and solutions.
What happens when we find out China has been less than truthful? My 1st thought when China said no new cases a month ago was "oh fuck". That's like the Detroit Pistons suddenly finding their offensive groove at the end of this season, doesn't add up. I think China will be exposed for hiding how bad it was, has been and is still. I think the US gov't will be knee deep in cases and deaths on US soil when this "discovery" is made public. I think Trump and the US retaliate against China. I think that info, the horror and the battle lines will get Trump elected again.
What happens when we find out Russia has been less than truthful? This one has me stumped. Much like China, word will come out that things are much worse than reported.
Why has no main stream news media questioned the data we put out on John Hopkins Corona Dashboard may not be quite accurate from China and Russia. I haven't heard anyone say "Can you really trust their reported numbers?" seems like they have always lied and manipulated news so why stop now? Really China has remained at 80k cases for a month? really? and Russia at 1500? cmon man...
