    It probably was not that low, but neither was it tens of millions :D

    These incredible claims of a completely out of control epidemic are fairy tales, 500 million infections, jeez you could have had 5 million dead already at that level.

    Have you ever read the book '1984' by George Orwell - you appear to believe in propaganda.
    If you would like to analyse what is true and what is not true in China, we could start.
    However I draw you to this transparency index https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/china

    I didn't indicate that I believed it, I just pointed out some interesting news and besides that, the article pointed out that it was "possible" that the virus was more widespread. With this in mind, I could not believe a possibility.

    Please give people more credit than they deserve, is it not! :lol::lol::lol:

    The US has topped 500,000 deaths from Covid-19, the most for any country in the world.

    It comes just over a year after the first infection of the novel coronavirus, first detected in China, was recorded on the US west coast.

    The grim milestone will be marked by a candle-lighting ceremony and moment of silence at the White House. President Joe Biden will also deliver remarks.

    More than 28.1 million Americans have been infected - another global record.

    The figure - currently at 500,071 according to Johns Hopkins University - surpasses the death toll "in a single year of this pandemic [that of] World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined", President Joe Biden said in a White House proclamation remembering the dead.

    The geezer is a living bodhisattva so is probably immune from all earthly virus, he is just getting the jab for effect, I met him and shook his hand around 30 years ago in little Tibet (McLeod Ganj).

    Those Rastafarians would be too wasted to let the virus get to them after that type of jab.
