Photos taken yesterday of the 458 new quarantine centres for COVID-19 that are being built in Shijiazhuang, China.
Currently they're claiming 180cases/day, out of a 1.4 billion population.
I personally don't trust that number.
@pete For the record, I don't trust the story behind this images either.
@timp I trust that the images are real, as they're coming from a Chinese state supported media outlet; they're probably at least nominally quarantine centres.
But as you say, as for the rest... China is probably more effective than most countries at lockdown. But they're probably struggling like everyone else. And we know for a fact that they've been using a different definition of a case than other countries, excluding anyone who is "asymptomatic".
@pete Besides that, I don't doubt they're locking people up and violating human rights, but at this point in time I don't think we really have a right to point at others ...
@pete (of course we have the right to, but you probably catch my drift)
@pete Don't get me wrong, I get your point, but "I trust that the images are real, as they're coming from a Chinese state supported media outlet" 😂
I've seen a lot of conflicting stories coming from China, and it's practically impossible for me to verify anything. And looking at what was put on display last year, combined what I can verify locally, I'm highly skeptical of anything coming out of China right now.
