Also looks like Italy will overtake China in 5 days. Let that sink in for a second. Its curve has not flattened at all, unlike South Korea. Italy is still on the exponential treadmill.
Correction: Italy will overtake the Number provided by China in 5 days
come on manch, donât you realize those numbers are fake? CCP will not shut down so many cities unless huge amount of people died. I remember few years ago some factory blew up and melt 1 miles of the city and they claim only 2x people died. All the cars within 1 miles radius has melt.
As China grappled with the coronavirus, it kept the masks it made. Now that other nations need them, pressure is rising on Beijing to resume exports toâŚ
I know Chinaâs numbers are most likely fake. But I donât think itâs so fake that we canât tell the trend. Things are much better now than a month or two ago. The communists want to lie but there is a limit to their ability to lie. Paper canât wrap fire.
I actually know of sources to import masks from China. But both sides wonât be happy if I do. The Chinese will say why are you taking medical resources from us. The Americans will say why are you profiting from a national disaster. I will let the big boy handle it then. I am just a small fly.
As hospitals and governments hunt desperately for respirators and surgical masks to protect doctors and nurses from the coronavirus pandemic, they face a difficult reality: The world depends on China to make them, and the country is only beginning to share.
China may be easing its grip as the worldâs needs grow. Tan Qunhong, the general manager of a small manufacturer of disposable masks in central China, said that she had filled the governmentâs purchase orders and was starting to resume exports. The Chinese government is also shipping masks abroad as part of goodwill packages.
The Chinese government has begun some shipments to other countries as part of aid packages. It donated 250,000 masks last month to Iran, one of the countries hardest hit by the epidemic, and 200,000 to the Philippines. This week it said it would send five million masks to South Korea and export 100,000 respirators and two million surgical masks to Italy.
Whether paper can wrap fire or not depends on whether their factories indeed came back online or they just turned their energy on to meet state mandated levels. Time will tell.
