The actual information they were sharing isn't reliable on it's own. However, there is no way China's numbers are remotely plausible.
Somebody did little research on cel phones. Just little information for thoughts on China . And I am sure numbers don't lie. "The Xi Jinping government which controls all the news and information, claims that 3,270 people have died and 81,093 infected in China due to COVID-19, which originated in Wuhan city of Hubei province. However, several Chinese civilians have leaked out videos and documents disputing these numbers, with many pointing to the drop in cellphone users by 21 million in the last three months.

The Virus is now operating It's own broadcast network, and it's not discriminating, saying that all humans who want to view it are welcome too.
if people aren't working. they're not going to pay phone bills over food. for these kind of things china is probably a good model for predicting the gig economy.
Surely you're not implying. That over twenty million people. Have died. From this virus. Based on cell phone usage. (Each sentence fragment above, burped up In the tone of brit Hume)
Of course , I am more concern of how many land lines were disconnected , and how many urns were delivered to that province.
Somehow I think Houston will have it slightly less bad than densely cities where everyone uses public transportation. Houston is all about people being by themselves in their pickup trucks.
If you're worried about take-out food, 90 seconds in the microwave in a clean container. If you're worried about something else, put your can of lysol in the microwave for 90 seconds. I kid, don't do that.
At the point where people are drinking bleach, is it ok to say that thinning the herd is a tolerable outcome?
This might not be relevant but as someone who used to stay there, the use of a SIM card is actually restricted to 3 months. You have to use it frequently to extend it. There are tons of migrant workers (among them those who turned residents) who own more than 1 SIM card, meaning, more than 1 number, 1 for their home province for instance, another one or two for other purposes. The unused number would become invalid very soon. Due to the lockdown and closing of cellphone stores, many had no access to applying for a new number. Thus this could explain some of this mystery of vanishing cellphone users. (Numbers are often interchangeable)
Absolutely tragic. I'd wager though, that "no known health condition" could probably be replaced by undiagnosed diabetic or at least, technically obese. Not making light of it - I'm freaking legit scared.
After the 16 year old girl in Paris, yesterday a 14 year old boy in Portugal died from the disease. He had no underlying health issue and died in a matter of hours after going to the hospital.
This is my country's new therapeutic algorithm. Chloroqinue for non hospitalised patients, of non risky groups ,of non underlying pathologies. Patients with mild symptoms who are ordered to stay at home.: If they get worse symptoms BUT with over 93% Oxygen saturation, negative X-ray or MRI and with talking with their GP will be able to receive phosphorate chloroqinue. If there is bacterial pneumonia + Azythromycine If there dyspnea, low oxygen saturation (lower than 93%), high fever that doesn't fall or reccurs and positive Xray/MRI then required hospitalisation and continue therapy with phosphorate chloroqinue+ azythromicyne + lopinoravir/ritonavir.
I'm really limiting takeout/drive-thru food. It's just too dangerous handling items that someone could've prepared half-assed. They wear gloves, but that doesn't mean the virus isn't on the gloves. My main concern with the microwave was money (dollar bills) and other paper. Money is already a germ magnet, but then it goes in your pocket. Now your pocket is contaminated. This entire situation is CRAZY.
