Chinese Communist propaganda “zero” can’t cover up the real epidemic

On February 13, the Chinese Communist Party‘s Xinhua News Agency reported, “No new confirmed cases of pneumonia in Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places, and Gao Cheng District in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, is still a medium-risk area”. Just after the New Year, the Chinese Communist Party’s media has started to promote the zero confirmed cases again, looking to brag about the victory in the fight against the Epidemic, but the actual official notification is just the opposite.

Is it really “zero confirmed cases”?

Xinhua News Agency reported, “13 from the Jilin Provincial health and Health Commission learned that from 0 to 24 hours on the 12th, the province has no new confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected …… Tonghua Municipal Government Bureau, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission organized to hold a training session on the resumption of work and production and city assignment code.

“12 0-24 hours, Heilongjiang Province, no new confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia reported, no new asymptomatic infections …… Hailun City, asymptomatic infections clear zero.”

“From the Hebei Provincial Health and Health Commission was informed that from 0:00 to 24:00 on the 12th, there were no new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Hebei Province, and no new asymptomatic infections of new coronary pneumonia …… As of 15:00 on the 13th, the Gaocheng District of Shijiazhuang City remains a medium risk area. 12 Shijiazhuang Gaocheng People’s Hospital Emergency, the fever outpatient clinic is open.”

If we follow the logic of the Xinhua report, the epidemic is starting to disappear in mainland China.

Check the “Update on the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic as of 24:00 on February 12” published by the National Health Construction Commission of the Communist Party of China, “From 0-24:00 on February 12, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 8 new confirmed cases… …3 cases in Shanghai, 3 cases in Guangdong, 1 case in Tianjin, and 1 case in Liaoning.”

The Xinhua News Agency only advertises that Jilin, Heilongjiang and Hebei have “zero confirmed cases”, but does not even mention the new cases in other regions, “3 cases in Shanghai, 3 cases in Guangdong, 1 case in Tianjin and 1 case in Liaoning”. The Chinese Communist Party’s media is clearly misleading and eager to publicize the good news of “zero” cases in the three provinces, intentionally covering up the epidemic in other regions.

The good news propagated by Xinhua was not mentioned in the latest notification from the CPC National Health Construction Commission. Obviously, this is a political propaganda operation, not directly related to epidemic prevention or the medical profession. The CPC National Health Construction Committee and the local health construction committees are completely under the orders of the top Communist Party officials and key local officials to publish the data according to political needs. The Communist Party media, as the mouthpiece of the Party, is in fact above the professional bodies and can control public opinion on its own without regard to the facts.

Official reports show the epidemic is actually spreading

Recent reports from the Communist Party’s National Health Construction Commission show that the epidemic is actually spreading and worsening in mainland China, and that it is by no means a “zero” trend.

“February 12, 0-24 hours …… 8 new confirmed cases …… 3 cases in Shanghai, 3 cases in Guangdong, 1 case in Tianjin and 1 case in Liaoning”.

“February 11 0-24 hours …… 12 new confirmed cases …… 7 cases in Shanghai, 2 cases in Guangdong, 2 cases in Sichuan, 1 case in Liaoning”.

“February 10, 0-24 hours …… 2 new confirmed cases …… 1 case in Fujian, 1 case in Guangdong …… 1 new suspected case (in Shanghai).”

“February 9 0-24 hours …… 14 new confirmed cases …… 6 cases in Shanghai, 3 cases in Zhejiang, 1 case in Tianjin, 1 case in Jiangsu, 1 case in Fujian, 1 case in Sichuan, 1 case in Shaanxi “.

“February 8, 0-24 hours …… 14 new confirmed cases …… 7 cases in Guangdong, 2 cases in Shanghai, 1 case in Jiangsu, 1 case in Zhejiang, 1 case in Fujian, 1 case in Shandong, 1 case in Sichuan …… 1 new suspected case (in Shanghai).”

“February 7 0-24 hours …… 14 new confirmed cases …… 7 cases in Shanghai, 7 cases in Guangdong”.

“February 6 0-24 hours …… 11 new confirmed cases …… 3 cases in Shanghai, 2 cases in Beijing, 2 cases in Jiangsu, 2 cases in Guangdong, 1 case in Hunan, 1 local case (in Jilin ) …… 2 new suspected cases (both in Shanghai)”.

The last 7 days of data show that the outbreak has been seen in various places, including at least Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Beijing, Tianjin, Sichuan, Shandong, Liaoning, Shaanxi and Hunan. Based on published data alone, Shanghai is the most serious, followed by Guangdong, and of course the vast majority of cases are said to be imported from abroad. Shanghai is still posing and notifies suspected cases from Time to time, while other regions’ notifications are more likely to be outright faked, omitting even suspected cases. As to whether more provinces are afraid to report, there is no more information to confirm.

The Chinese Communist Party publicized the New Year in place many days in advance and should have known the true situation of the epidemic. The majority of the Chinese people have heard and heard the propaganda and should no longer believe the CCP propaganda, and have actually taken the initiative to reduce their travels in large numbers. It is understood that the peak of the Spring Festival passenger traffic is only 1/5 of the weekday traffic, and many trains have been suspended as a result, and some air tickets are even cheaper than train tickets. If we follow the current trend of the epidemic, does it not make much difference whether we go back Home for New Year or not?

What does the high number of close contacts reveal?

The recent briefing by the Communist Party’s National Health Construction Commission also released data on some of those who have been quarantined.

The briefing gave the number of close contacts released from medical observation, “2045” on February 12, “3022” on February 11, “2842” on February 10 “, February 9 “2960 people”, February 8 “6787 people”, February 7 “3372 people”, February 6 “2596 people”.

In these 7 days alone, 23,624 close contacts were announced to be released from medical observation. These should not be the full number of people under mandatory quarantine, or at least they should not include quarantined people from outside the country, nor mobile people from the so-called danger zone, who are not close contacts and are under mandatory general 14+7+7 days quarantine, and usually should be in a hotel or something like that.

What was published in the briefing was only the number of medically observed close contacts, that is, people who were at least suspected of having possible contact with the confirmed person. They should have needed to be tested repeatedly and then determined to be free of infection, or at least quarantined for 14+7+7 days before being released. That means that the 23,624 people had been forcibly quarantined at least 28 days ago and were likely housed in so-called square cabin hospitals, or unknown quarantine sites, or possibly welded shut and sealed in their homes.

The Feb. 12 briefing also announced that a cumulative total of 973,429 close contacts had been traced and 11,929 close contacts were still under medical observation. These figures indicate that the severity of the outbreak is far greater than people thought. If most of the cases are imported from outside China, as the Chinese Communist Party has officially informed us, how could so many people be in close contact, and aren’t all those from outside China under mandatory quarantine? How many local confirmed cases are involved in so many close contacts now? Are there just a few or a dozen cases announced each day? Obviously it doesn’t make sense.

Moreover, the briefing did not reveal how many of these close contacts were finally diagnosed, how many people might be involved, and whether they would be cross-infected if they were centrally quarantined in the Fangzhan Hospital.

The people really need to be very careful. The Xinhua News Agency has quoted Zhong Nanshan as saying that 60-70% of the epidemic is in the rural areas, so how many of these quarantined people are from the cities and how many are from the rural areas? How many of these quarantined people are from the cities and how many are from the countryside? The CCP’s mass testing simply does not cover the countryside either, and how many rural areas are in the gaps and out of control?

Other Outrageous Numbers

The CCP’s falsified data still maintains the bizarre figure of 100% hospitalization rate for those diagnosed.

The Feb. 12 briefing said, “There are 244 confirmed cases (including three serious cases) and one suspected case. There are 4,854 cumulative confirmed cases, 4,610 cumulative cured and discharged cases, and no fatal cases.”

There are 244 confirmed cases + 4610 cumulative cured and discharged cases = 4854 cumulative confirmed cases. In other words, every confirmed case that was announced was admitted to hospital and discharged, so no one died. It is not known whether these cumulative figures are counted from January this year or from some time last year, but roughly they should be for the last January-February.

According to this published data, it seems that all confirmed cases in mainland China are showing more serious symptoms and must all go to hospitals for treatment. This is completely inconsistent with the current epidemic data released by countries around the world. Usually only a small number of infected people need to be hospitalized, and most do not need to go to hospitals. Why do 100% of infected people in mainland China need to be hospitalized?

Is the figure released by the Chinese Communist Party on the number of confirmed cases, or is it the entire population of confirmed cases? The official figures released by the Chinese Communist Party include many asymptomatic infected people, who also need treatment? Are they only in the incubation period and temporarily asymptomatic, but all of them have developed more serious symptoms afterwards? Is that still an asymptomatic infection?

The briefing also announced the cumulative data for the past year or so, saying that “89,756 confirmed cases were reported” and “10,755 cases were reported in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region”.

The population of Hong Kong is about 7.5 million, and the current infection rate is 10,755/ 7.5 million = 0.14%; the infection rate announced by mainland China is 89,756/ 1.4 billion = 0.0064%. Isn’t that also bizarre?

Of course, people should no longer believe the lies of the Chinese Communist Party, but perhaps they can still refer to the official notification from time to time. If they look at it more carefully, they can probably analyze the real epidemic and know how to prevent themselves.
