Didn't see the 2 sons ages. Maybe I ran through too fast. Not olds but not young either.

Found the younger sons age 53 in a diff article. Which leaves only 54 as the age of the oldest son.
Ages 50-59 is currently at 1.3% death rate. To have 3 siblings die in that age range means there's something more to it than just age.

Could be a case of זה וזה גורם. Virus + Genetic predisposition + age = fatal cocktail.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Maybe a massive intake of the virus?

I literally have no idea. But they should be studied closely - I think it will help others.

Mom was 73, daugher 55, and the sons were 54 and 53.
Really not that old.
Many of the family in the picture look to be obese, so it's quite possible there's hypertension and/or diabetes.

This probably played a big part.

So, based on the way this has been progressing in the US, Italy and other places, how is it possible that China only had 80,000 cases? Especially since we had prior warning while they had much less. (Even it wasn't taken seriously at first by most). Something just doesn't add up. Even welding shut apartment buildings wouldn't be enough to keep their numbers so low. My suspicion is that the reports that crept out of 10's of thousands dead etc, were probably accurate, and Rachmana Litzlan we should be prepared for much worse than we can than we can imagine. (Especially since it is unlikely that we will be taking measures on the level of China)

Of course we knew they were lying, but just not by that much. At this point I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they had hundreds of millions of cases....

Perhaps the conspiracy is that the journalists needed to find something to hock about post-impeachment, so they ate some bats...

The numbers of everything are much higher than what they said. People were claiming China stats were useless because they weren’t counting everyone and it’s not serious. Yeh, you’re right they weren’t counting everyone. There were so many deaths that occurred before they had a chance to get tested. And unless they got tested, they weren’t added to the official numbers. When you see a 4% fatality rate in China, and that’s the official numbers, that’s scary. You also have places like Zhejiang that somehow miraculously only had 1 death in the entire province with over 1000 cases. As if a random sampling of 1000+ people in a province will not produce plenty of 80 year olds and immuno-compromised individuals. We still haven’t found any other country with only 1 death when they had that many cases.

While, like you, I do suspect they are lying, there is also the possibility that they are better off controlling the virus than other countries.

First, they are an absolute dictatorship. If they say there is a lockdown, then there is a lockdown. The people listen or suffer the consequences. They aren't giving out shalach manos while the world burns.

Second, obesity in China is far lower than in other places around the world. In Italy, the deaths are almost exclusively in people with preexisting conditions.

While I don't believe them when they say there are NO cases, there is room to believe that they tamped down the virus.

There is no way they would be able to hide millions of deaths.
