I know, it's almost as if they were intentionally pushing fake news to promote a political agenda...
Are you crazy? The media and politicians would never exploit a global pandemic for political gain.

And it's working "bigly"

They are coming across as the real global leader.

Exactly...

So Queens Jewish Link is now advertising for https://antivirusmaskwarehouse.com/ which is selling masks at decent prices, with a really heavy ship charge on top.

Surgical masks
10 for 19.99
30 for 34.99
50 for 54.99

KN95 masks
10 for 49.99
20 for 94.99
50 for 199.99

But regardless there is a charge of $15 for 1-2 week shipping which is just a hidden charge that unbalances whatever deal you think you are getting.


Do you have any idea how expensive this is? Kn95s we're selling in the $3-$4 range 2 weeks ago.

Surgical masks for $2 a pop?
+100

It bothers me that all the graphs and news orgs we're reporting the fake chinese numbers, basically creating a mega PR campaign for the Chinese...

I'm sorry - didn't you post this two days ago?

A guy selling N95s on DDF for $10.50 isn't making more then 10% on it...

1. KN95s and N95s aren't the same thing
2. The prices weren't $10 either. But if someone is coming to DDF to sell masks, they were probably seriously ripped off ...

What's the problem? He never it's not expensive. He said it may not be price gauging. Now he was replying that those are not decent prices.

I've read the past 10 pages in this thread, and I'm looking for an answer to my question.
I'm sure there is no exact answer, but would appreciate a few different possible answers.

Here goes:
We see how this is spreading in the US and elsewhere like wildfire. The question is CHINA. By all accounts this originated in the Wuhan area, but China didn't acknowledge anything for weeks... Now, during that time there were hundreds or thousands of flights to China's capital Beijing, as well as Shanghai ect. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE WERE ONLY A FEW HUNDRED CASES IN BEIJING?
You see how fast it spreads elsewhere. How did it not explode in Beijing?? How were they able to shut down Wuhan, and everywhere else is spared?
Even if they decided not to test anyone in Beijing, and therefore they have no cases to report, word would still leak out that there are thousands of deaths in Beijing. Their hospitals would explode like NY.
Why is there none of that?
Did they manufacture this to kill the worlds economy, (and sacrificed Wuhan to play along as victim), yet have a cure that they are applying in Beijing and other areas?

I just don't understand why the aren't hundreds of thousands of deaths in Beijing.

Any possible answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

John Loftus (ex-intelligence guy with a column in the Ami magazine) has a theory along these lines, but according to him it was the Russians, not the Chinese who did it.

Every time I read one of his columns I wonder how much of it to believe. This time he actually said that it's a theory he has, in the past when I've read him IIRC he seems to always give it as fact.

Simple. They played with the numbers.

He's the real definition of #Fakenews
