Are yall still going to push this narrative when the mortality rates in South Korea and Italy end up being the same as the ones being published by the Chinese?

It's a completely different situation. Medical care in China is a mixed bag. In the first-tier cities, there are hospitals that are state of the art medical facilities with Western-trained doctors. These hospitals are expensive and used by the very wealthy and top CCP members. They are relatively small. More common are the local hospitals with doctors trained in China in both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine. There are also Traditional Chinese medicine only hospitals/clinics. Great medical care is available in China, but most is not up to Western standards.

When a city was placed in quarantine, people were required to go to a hospital and get a "quarantine certificate". When you see pictures and videos of the hospital desk being overwhelmed with people and lines that are block long of people waiting to get into the hospital, it was to get their quarantine certificate. The quarantine certificate is used to prove that you are complying with the quarantine and to get medical access if you need it during the quarantine. I think this process helped to spread the virus with many people together in relatively confined areas for hours.

Once a city was quarantined, they have to survive with what they have. Not much is getting into the city as far as medical supplies or food. Deliveries are apparently allowed, but the truck and driver are being quarantined outside of the city with the driver inside his truck for 2 weeks before they are allowed to leave. Once the patient load exceeded the number of beds available, things got difficult. Patients started getting less attention. They started running out of medicine. Doctors and nurses started getting sick. More and more patients were arriving all the time.

There is a huge difference in care a patient will receive in Korea with a few hundred infected with all medications and supplies available vs. Korea with 100,000 patients and no medicine available. South Korea numbers now are probably best case that will be seen with treatment anywhere until an effective treatment is developed. Overwhelm a medical system and run out of medication and guess what happens to the death rate? This is one of the things that tells you the Chinese numbers are bull shite.
