China Is Warning That An 'Unknown Pneumonia' Deadlier Than The Coronavirus Is Sweeping Kazakhstan

SCMP: ‘Unknown pneumonia’ deadlier than coronavirus sweeping Kazakhstan, Chinese embassy warns

* Statement from embassy warns that death rate is ‘much higher’ than coronavirus and says local authorities have yet to identify cause
* Kazakh authorities have reimposed Covid-19 lockdown in some parts of the country amid a spike in pneumonia cases last month

The Chinese embassy in Kazakhstan has warned of a deadly “unknown pneumonia” after the former Soviet republic reported a spike in pneumonia cases since June.

“The death rate of this disease is much higher than the novel coronavirus. The country’s health departments are conducting comparative research into the pneumonia virus, but have yet to identify the virus,” the embassy said in a warning to Chinese citizens in the country.

While the Chinese embassy described the illness as an “unknown pneumonia”, Kazakhstani officials and media have only said it is pneumonia.

It was not clear why the Chinese embassy had described the illness as “unknown” or what information it had about the pneumonia.

The embassy’s website, citing local media reports, said the provinces of Atyrau and Aktobe and the city of Shymkent have reported significant spikes in pneumonia cases since the middle of June.

The Chinese PRC is every bit as irredentists as the Muslims. Before the Battle of Talas in 751, China controlled parts of the Stans. They want it back.

If they really want the mineral wealth of Afghanistan, they could flank it from the north and thus have more control over its borders than they have now. They would have to subdue or subvert more stans obviously. I admit, it is far fetched.

Still, for a country that engages in bio research and has recently had such a hard time admitting that they had an outbreak, it really seems odd that they are so on this before anyone else. Sort of like concern trolling in politics.

Anon 11:23,
You are right, that's a little bit suspicious.

My guess it's the Chinese will do anything and I mean anything to deflect from Wuhan

1. Don't call it Wuhan virus or you're racist(CNN helps them AGAIN)

2. Don't say it's from us. It was Italy! Oh no it was Spain. Oh I mean it was the USA

3. In China you have death clocks for several nations including the above to blame these nations and make the Chinese population hate outsiders instead of blaming Xi. A death clock with your country's flag, blaming you! On top westerners are segregated in restaurants. But that practice off course not racist according to CNN. Yeah right

4. Have other outbreaks that suddenly pop up next door at porous border lines. Sure. We totally believe it wasn't you

Poll shows Trump’s coronavirus approval at all-time low

Spidey senses tingling. The age biological warfare may have arrived. Who can lose a billion people and still come out on top. Simple math. Victory ensures a 1000 year empire. I am wearing my tin foil mind you.

"Poll shows Trump’s coronavirus approval at all-time low"

Look it is the REMF clerk sniping away in between pulling down smut off the internet.


Did clerk do anything other than read and post a headline that pleased him?

Did clerk look at the poll internals to see sampling sizes or sampling proportions? Does clerk know anything about sampling?

Could clerk pass a basic test question involving sampling black and white marbles?

A better question is how many gears clerk has.

Cracking
27% will support him no matter what, and another 13% will support him almost no matter what, but once you start losing at that latter group they don't come back. They're the ones who won't admit to voting for him in a few years (months).

Evaluation of Trump's oversight of the COVID-19 crisis reached a new low since ABC News/Ipsos began surveying on the coronavirus in March, with 67% disapproving of his efforts. One-third of the country approves of the president's oversight of the pandemic.

They aren't reporting the overall approval rating

sniping and venom does not replace counter argument supported by statistics

You know clerk, if COVID 19 is actually a bio weapon, then perhaps the Chinese will release more. You better find a cabin in the woods and hole up.
