Nobody takes anything Pence says seriously, except maybe evangelical Christians and the Trumpets. Anti-China people like to overestimate any “ China crisis “ Pro China people may like to underestimate it :) We probably know absolutely nothing about what is really going on, based on what we read or see on TV! I read somewhere that Hillary Clinton eats dead baby fetuses on toast for breakfast! Those Satanic Capitalists! Wait a minute, it was just eggs on toast! So if the Chinese are burning infected clothing and facemasks they must be burning people! :) Sadly, if they are cremating remains, look at CDC and Funeral director guidelines below, cremation is the preferred method for dealing with infectious bodies. Note that one of the sources of the " cremation story" is Miles Kwok, the Anti-China billionaire and possible Juan Guaido for China, linked to Steve Bannon, both China regime change fanatics. Can you imagine Miles Kwok, Steve Bannon offering any kind words of empathy and support ? Or acts of charity by sending medical supplies?

If you don't trust the figures, it's probably best to go Wuhan and count the dead yourself! Although The World Health Organization is already there possibly doing that. The last thing they need is someone arguing over statistics and proving China's government is "pure evil and everything it does is wrong". More important is containing and eliminating the outbreak, treating the ill, comfort the dying and restoring things to normal if possible. Many countries including Japan, South Korea, Russia, Egypt and Iran are bringing in medical supplies and even medical workers to help. They are helping, not heaping scorn and accusations which is what anyone in the world would want if it happens in their own country.

( For many years, some Conspiracy Theorists think " The Globalists " are planning a world wide pandemic to reduce the world's population. If that is not a crackpot theory, then nothing China does or doesn't do will matter. Twelve Monkeys may be bringing the virus to a neighbourhood near you! )

As Bevin Chu in Taiwan notes:

Anglosphere ( Western ) media lowballs infection rates in the West in order to look more competent and responsible than China! Result? More fatalities in the West due to insufficient public awareness. All to "save face"! I can't be the only one who has noticed the self-destructive irony.

ie. The US never issued a quarantine in 50 yrs!... until 2019nCoV. Almost NOTHING was done to contain any outbreak, flu, HIV, H1n1, etc. No face masks, no disinfection, no quarantine, freedom to spread democr-er infection world wide! :)

Chapter 6: Infectious Disease Control for Funeral Directors and Embalmers

The guidance below is primarily intended to protect workers involved with the disposition of human remains either by cremation (recommended) or burial. ● Ensure that anyone handling the body bag wears single-use (disposable) gloves with extended cuffs and a long-sleeved disposable gown.

● Do not open the body bags.

● Do not embalm the body.

● Do not remove any implanted medical devices.

● Cremate the remains. An oversized cremation container may be needed to contain the bagged body for cremation. Cremated remains are no longer infectious and can be handled and provided to the family using normal procedures.

ME/Cs should also work with local emergency management agencies to identify sources and costs of special equipment (e.g., air curtain incinerators, which are capable of high-volume cremation) and the newer plasma incinerators, which are faster and more efficient than previous incineration methods. The costs of such equipment and the time required to obtain them on request should be included in state and local terrorism preparedness plans.

There’ve been some concerning instances of onward #2019nCoV spread from people with no travel history to ????????. The detection of a small number of cases may indicate more widespread transmission in other countries; in short, we may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg.

VP Mike Pence praises China's 'unprecedented level of transparency' on coronavirus

"Transparency"?? What a joke!

Someone over on /r/dataisbeautiful that the infection/death rate is following an impossibly perfect quadratic curve. He also posted predictions of infected/dead for a week in advance, and so far the Chinese official numbers are holding to that almost perfectly. So something really screwy is going on, and it's not good. Especially when coupled with reports of crematoriums going 24/7 and barricades appearing in Shenzen.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/ez13dv/comment/fgkkh59

The problem with the reported numbers is that it is based on Chinese creative accounting.

They don't count the dead if the dead has not already been diagnosed as infected before expiring.

And they don't perform autopsy on the dead but instead have them cremated as soon as they've been picked up.

Wuhan is said to have three crematoriums, and they have been operating 24/7 for weeks.

Each crematorium can "process" 240 corpses a day. Do the math, and it should be apparent that current figure of 900 deaths is a total dream

Authorities are afraid to openly tell that they did not allow Foxconn to resume production. Instead they are referencing some "additional checkings" as reason for delays.

Next truth that will be uncovered is that around 50-70% of domestic manufacturers of masks in each country just repacked Chinese masks.

All export from China is prohibited now. So, it'll be full blown nightmare.

It's a big operation with TV and radio networks involved. It's interactive . Live-streamed courses have been normal for many years in many schools across the country. The Video above about schools is not available on youtube.

Schools and Universities went online already last week. ( this video report is unavailable online )

Meanwhile in Canada and U.S. .... strange meats and disease....I guess some mystery meats like hot dogs, sausages, hamburgers, meat pies etc. might have a remote possibilty of containing wild game or roadkill ?

Chronic wasting disease (CWD), often referred to as “zombie deer disease,” has been confirmed in the elk and deer populations of two Canadian provinces and at least 24 states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned. There’s a potential risk it could spread to humans, the agency added.

If it were spread to people, it would most likely be through eating infected deer or elk, but the CDC says it is not known if people can get infected with CWD. ... CDC recommends hunters test animals for CWD before eating them in areas where the disease is known to be present, and to not shoot or handle meat from deer that look strange or are acting strangely.

more conspiracy speculation from the Middle East about viruses and capitalism, take it with a grain of salt or vaccine injection :) it could be just a natural mutation of a virus from a bat partying with a snake afterall :)

"And here is something else that's strange: As soon as Egypt announced, a few years ago, that it would rely on poultry [raised in the country], and that it would even export [poultry] abroad – that is, that it no longer needed poultry from the U.S., France, and so on – [suddenly] there appeared, from underneath the ground, the avian flu virus… with the aim of nipping [Egypt's economic] awakening in the bud. Helpless, the world searched for a serum [i.e. vaccine] for this miserable avian [flu] virus. Out of the blue, like a miracle, Merck Sharp appeared like an innocent lamb, with the longed-for medicine in its hand, as if it knew nothing and as if one of its managers, Donald Rumsfeld, knew nothing and thought that the world too knew nothing. And maybe [the world] really did not know that this Donald Rumsfeld had served as [U.S.] secretary of defense for five years, into 2006. This secret member of the army brought the 'hidden' serum in the form of [the antiviral medication] Tamiflu, and thus he and his company raked in tens of billions of dollars from this miserable swine flu. The question is, what is the [U.S.] Department of Defense's connection to medical treatments?!

"Even before this, the same thing was done in China… when in 2003 [the country] announced that it had [the [world's] largest dollar reserves [and] they [the Americans] introduced coronavirus' cousin, SARS, into [the country] – [along with] the [vaccine] serum, [saying] 'We are the only ones who have this and you'll pay for it.' There was also the anthrax experiment, with the same company, Merck Sharp, and the same fraud and roundabout methods – and it happened also with the swine flu, when Novartis and many other companies made $6 billion from this.

"Dear reader, when you read these scenarios, you will surely agree that behind the [outbreak of] corona[virus] there is a plan of deceit aimed at making a profit, and nothing more. The whole thing is a virus industry, a world of tiny creatures – viruses and genetic engineering – that culminate in the manufacture of a virus that is transferred to wealthy countries that can buy the [vaccine] serum.

China apologist :) VP Mike Pence praises China's 'unprecedented level of transparency' on coronavirus

Vice President Mike Pence said Beijing has demonstrated “an unprecedented level of transparency” with world health officials in dealing with the new, fast-spreading coronavirus. “It’s heartbreaking but we stand ready with China to provide them any and all support,” he said on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.” Health officials around the world are also scrambling to stop the spread of the new virus, which was discovered Dec. 31 in the Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei province.

China’s National Health Commission has raised its confirmed coronavirus cases in the country to 31,161. The death toll rose to 636, with one additional fatality in the Philippines and one in Hong Kong. Eleven cases have been reported across the United States.

The Chinese government has put several preventative measures in place, including issuing travel bans and monitoring citizens for fever and coughs. Several retailers have closed stores. While health officials believe the number of actual coronavirus cases to be much larger, some have praised China, Pence among them, for its quick reporting and its willingness to share information about the outbreak. “We think that China has demonstrated an unprecedented level of transparency” with world health officials, Pence said.
