Want to say that again?

I'm not saying it was intentional, but to dismiss the possibility is extremely naïve.
no, for the umpteenth time, they did not.

lmao. the super spreader events where millions gathered had nothing to do with it right?

another person said that chinese already vaccinated all their citizens pre-covid and now you're saying they're in no rush.
let's be more united on our preconceived notions about chinam, please.

interesting that OAN, a far right win org, would publish something like that.

If what you said is correct, why would it decrease to 9100 under those same conditions?
google "exponential growth". that might help you understand.

China knew they had a novel coronavirus on 12/30/2019. The world is celebrating the New Year and China is covering up whatever it knew about the virus and where it came from. Jan. 1st The Party went on TV and called the doctors that leaked the info rumor mongers. They blocked search terms with SARS and Wuhan in it. They were lying to WHO. Censorship orders were sent out specifically talking about this coronavirus. Then they carried out 12 days of annual political meetings in Wuhan starting Jan. 6th. Jan. 8th the WSJ is about to publish that China is dealing with a new coronavirus besting the WHO at getting info out of China. China puts a WHO puppet on air to parrot out Chinese talking points. Jan. 13th the genetic code is released to the public. Then China obfuscates the cases it does have...

China remembered how much SARS cost them in 2003 with travel and trade restrictions.

China was obliged by international health regulations to report a novel virus outbreak within 24 hours of confirmation.

18:00 - all the way to the shocking scene of the crash...

On Sunday, more than 10,000 families gathered in Wuhan for a banquet, sharing dishes including spicy duck necks and braised prawns, in a tradition the government had held for years to mark the Lunar New Year.

Days later, Beijing made the unprecedented decision to lock down the city of 11 million people, shutting public transportation, movie theaters, internet cafes and other cultural centers, in an effort to contain the spread of a virus that has killed at least 18 people.

I doubt Biden would have won those states without massive mail-in voting.

I felt in my gut Trump would win in 2016 but lose in 2020 - not due to his handling of Covid19, but mail-in voting.

He beat HRC in 2016, despite these states being mildly in favor of her, due to him generating more enthusiasm and hence voter turnout. Biden garners less enthusiasm than HRC but with mail in voting you don't need much enthusiasm to vote. I remember on my Instagram, seeing a banner asking if I was registered to vote, and if not here is how.

There was a huge push by social media to get as many young people to vote. These young people are typically apolitical but also lean Democrat. If they have to stand in line to vote, they probably won't do it. But if you send them a mail in ballot, they'll fill it out and send it back.

Here's an MSN survey for you. Note how close the numbers are for each party on who wears masks. Stop with the childish name calling. Talk to the 11% of Democrats who answered no to mask wearing.

"Eighty-nine percent of Democrats and 81% of Republicans say they have worn a mask in public, according to the survey"
