There are known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns in this world. I’m not a fan of that last one, but that’s where we stand with the Covid-19 saga unfolding in China right now. Nothing that’s happened over the last month and a half has made any sense and that should concern us all. At this point, I’d say we don’t know what we don’t know.
It started with the angst toward China’s Zero-Covid policy that prompted rare mass protests across the authoritarian nation. When the government inexplicably dropped their restrictions and essentially went to an All-Covid policy, my assumption was they were going to teach the people a lesson by giving them what they asked for before coming back around a couple of weeks later and saying, “See, we told you freedom was overrated. We’re reinstating restrictions now.”
That didn’t happen. Now we’re learning that there is a massive surge of Covid-19 infections to the tune of 900 MILLION with 80% of the cases categorized as “severe.” My reaction to the article by Alex Wu from our premium news partners at The Epoch Times was “What the ****?”
On today’s news clip broadcast for The JD Rucker Show, I walked through the article and offered up theories about how any of this can possibly make sense. Is this really Covid? Is it something completely different, such as the next bioweapon release? Does this all tie into the machinations of the globalist elite cabal as they work against their common enemy, the United States of America?
My conclusion bodes ill for America and the freedoms of our citizens. This all smells like a coordinated effort between the Chinese Communist Party and the globalist elite cabal to launch the triggering event that will justify worldwide adoption of the Pandemic Treaty. I’ll be discussing that possibility in-depth during the live show later today.
Whatever is happening, it’s not what we’re being told… or not being told. It’s conspicuous that a billion people infected with Covid in China isn’t making the national news in the United States. One would think the vaxx-nannies would be screaming about this while the mask tyrants would be calling for more power. The fact that there is mostly radio silence on this issue reinforces my belief that this is all part of a greater globalist plan. Here’s the article I discussed by Alex Wu from The Epoch Times:

Study Estimates 900 Million in China Infected With COVID, Officials Admit 60,000 Deaths in Past Month
About 900 million Chinese are estimated to be infected with COVID-19 in China’s latest outbreak, with nearly 80 percent of them experiencing severe symptoms, according to a study by Peking University. Meanwhile, Chinese health officials have finally reported that China has seen around 60,000 COVID-related deaths at hospitals across the country in the past month following international pressure for transparency and data.
A research group led by Prof. Ma Jingjing at the National School of Development of Peking University estimated in a recent study that as of Jan. 11, 64 percent of China’s 1.4 billion population had been infected with COVID-19, which was about 900 million people, reported mainland Chinese media Economic Observer on Jan. 13.
In terms of regional differences in infection rates, the report said that the highest infection rates for this round the outbreak are in three provinces in the western part of China. Gansu Province ranked the first place with about 91 percent of people being infected, followed by Yunnan Province with an 84 percent infection rate and Qinghai Province with 80 percent.
The model estimates of infection rates in the study were calculated based on search volumes on online platforms for symptoms related to COVID-19 infection, according to Ma. Given the lack of official data, the authors used the number of online searches for symptoms such as “fever” and “cough” as an indication of local infection rates, she said.
China affairs commentator Li Muyang pointed out during his talk show on NTDTV on Jan. 13, that as a result, the study likely didn’t include many elderly Chinese who aren’t accustomed to searching for information online. Re-infection rates are also not likely captured by the estimates from the study. The actual infection rate in China could be higher than 900 million, he said.
The modelling in the report also predicted that this wave of COVID infections across China reached its peak on Dec. 20, 2022. However, other experts believe that infections may continue to increase as the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday approaches.
Peak Yet to Come
Zeng Guang, ex-head of the China’s Center for Disease Control, said at the “Shenzhou Cell New Crown Recombinant Protein Multivalent Vaccine Research and Development Conference” on Jan. 8 that the COVID wave has just begun to reach its peak in some places, and hasn’t yet peaked in rural China, according to mainland Chinese media Caixin. Zeng estimated that the peak of the COVID wave will come sometime between February and March, and that the duration of the peak of severe cases will be longer.
Zeng expressed concern about the situation in China’s rural areas, where many Chinese are expected to visit over the New Year holiday. He said that there are a large number of elderly, young, sick, and disabled in rural areas, and that the medical infrastructure and conditions there are poor.
Earlier this year, Zhang Wenhong, China’s top epidemiologist and director of the China Medical Center for Infectious Diseases, said in a lecture that the infection rate of this wave is very high.
During the Lunar New Year on Jan. 23, the national infection rate may reach 80 percent, which means that more than 1.1 billion people will be infected, he estimated.
Severe Symptoms
The research group at Peking University also surveyed 11,443 COVID patients and 76 percent of them reported that their symptoms were worse than that of the flu.
The report said that most of the infected people interviewed had one or more symptoms of fever, cough and sputum, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, altered sense of taste and smell, and diarrhea. The most common symptom was a fever, with 82 percent of infected respondents developing the symptom, of which 75 percent had a high fever (38.5 degrees C/101.3 degrees F and above), and 47 percent had a fever lasting for three or more days.

As many as 86 percent of the infected used antipyretic drugs.
On Jan. 13, the Peking University report became the most searched item on China’s websites, sparking heated discussions.
One netizen posted, “Didn’t the so-called experts say previously that 90 percent of the infected people are asymptomatic? Now come out and explain.”
Another posted, ”I have a fever. My whole body is sore and I feel weak. I was told that I was a mild case.”
A post read, “The aftereffects of COVID are very serious. I was infected almost a month ago, and I am still weak, and I am out of breath when I move around.”
Major online Chinese news portals such as sina.com soon deleted articles discussing the study.
Nearly 60,000 COVID Deaths in Past Month
On Jan. 14, China’s National Health Commission finally released a report outlining 59,938 COVID-related deaths in China’s hospitals from Dec. 8, 2022, to Jan. 12.
According to the official announcement, the figure is a “through analysis” rather than a “statistic.” The release of the number came following widespread international criticism, including from the World Health Organization, of the Chinese communist regime for underplaying the severity of the outbreak and its lack of transparency.
It immediately became the most searched topic on baidu.com, the Chinese equivalent to Google. Many Chinese are still questioning the accuracy of this official number.
One posted on social media, “Hospitals recorded more than 50,000 deaths, but there are many deaths in urban and rural areas that haven’t occurred during hospitalization and are not recorded!”
Another netizen said, “How many deaths are there in rural areas that are not in the hospital? It should be many times of the death toll in the hospitals.”
One read, “How many died without going to the hospital?”
Feng Chongyi, a China expert and professor at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 14 that the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is seriously concealing the truth, and the actual COVID death toll may be much more than what the CCP has reported.

Absolutely. Nothing about this is legit.
The lockdowns and mandated inoculations will eliminate a lot of people in China. China will become unsustainable, as will any country that follows its horrid example.
Are they using the m-RNA gene therapy?
I don’t get it. How can 80% have it? If it only lasts a week or 2, then in 2 weeks only 20% are left to catch it, then in 2 more weeks there will be no one left to get it. Unless it lasts forever or their ‘cures’ don’t work or actually give it to you?
Yes, nothing the Chinese report (ie allow to be reported) can be trusted. The original “covid” outbreak in China 2019/20 showed people collapsing and dying in the street, which was a total lie. These “catastrophic” figures are equally hyped. The Chinese protested against lockdowns, so the government eased up and then fabricated these new dire consequences of freedom. It’s all a lie, meant to scare and control.
I believe that the death rate is still very low. 60k people is a lot of needless death, it is still only 1.5% of the number infected. Arresting Fauci and Gates (and friends) would be my first priority. They killed those folks. The vaccines are worse than the disease.
Sorry. That should have been .015%
.15% having difficult time this morning
900 BILLION? I don’t think so. Fix that.
Oh crap. How embarrassing.
I saw that too. Fear mongering and manipulation. Even conservative sites are doing it.
Total bs. My wife is there now and says things are pretty much back to normal.
The Communist elite ruling party in China has been obsessed with zero population growth and depopuation for decades – long before Covid. It wouldn’t be a surprise to discover that the popu;ace has been intentionally subjected to another gain-of-function enhanced Covid strain and/or killer vaccines.
Nearly 60,000 deaths from 900,000,000 infected is tragic but equals less than 1% of the reported number. They probably disappeared more of their citizens last month who protested against their regime than the China flu claimed in that 30 day period. Maybe that’s what they are and not telling us.
The 900 million with some sort of respiratory disease may be right for winter in China. We also have to remember that this mixes with flu, RSV. And whatever else has come from the birds and otter animals this winter.
As for the 60.000 deaths, even if the number is actually double (for the sake of argument) that still means the fatality rate is still around 0.013%.
I think you’re right to treat the latest panic rounds with many grains of salt.
Wise man treat with grain of MSG.
The 900,000,000 number is cumulative since the beginning. Basically they are looking at the serological evidence in the broad population. Doing studies, finding that 80% have the antibodies from infection.
There is either deliberate misunderstanding of the numbers or translation errors.
100% of Chinese people received the Chinese jab. Obvious cause.
Sounds like more lies and machinations from China and the elites. They are up to something. A cough or feeling
‘under the weather’, is NOT “severe”. They’re lying. They ALWAYS lie. They can tell us here whatever they want, and they will, but no one with half a brain is going to believe them, much less, do anything they say.
One possibility is that they do not, in actuality, have covid and are reacting to the vaccines or some F’d up combo of the two. The population in China are much more ‘sheep-like’, than here having been oppressed for nearly 100 years. They all still depend on momma china to care for them and to tell them what to do, even after being treated so badly.
I believe that they should make ivermectin available here. Even in TN, where the governor signed a ‘feel-good’ law that made it legal to buy ivermectin over the counter, it is still NOT available because, as he knew, the pharmacies refuse to sell it, even though its legal for a person to buy. If ivermectin was available it would not only clear up a person’s covid quick, it can, I believe, help prevent adverse reactions from the shot. Right now, the best thing we can each do is to make ABSOLUTELY sure that we are NOT fat! If you are overweight, then loose it. That will help tremendously. And I sure don’t mean ‘oh I lost 10 pounds’. No, I mean get to a weight that nowadays will have people thinking maybe you’re a bit anorexic. F them, it will save your life! Eating VERY little will save you and your loved ones from unimaginable suffering and even death. I went from 205 at my heaviest, down to 130. I will tell you it will revitalize you and make you feel like a new person. And all you have to do is STOP EATING! Just stop it. The other thing is to pray to God every day, all day. Make Him the center of your life and all the rest will take care of itself. That’s my unsolicited advise anyway.
They’re apparently not at the level of civilization as Uganda, which has zero cases. But then, Uganda has ivermectin, and the CCP is deeply embedded with Pig Pharma. Oink.
My impression is that China is suppressing rebellion and c-19 is the excuse.
It’s kinda of obvious this is for COVID II since the first one worked spectacular and like a lion that has tasted human they can’t stop the lust for it again.
Fool me one shame on me – fool me twice and shame on YOU.
I heard a rumor several months ago. The story went that Chinese intelligence developed a new disease and the CIA found out about it. They sent in a team to acquire a sample but were found out by Chinese intelligence. There was a pitched battle in the streets to get the sample back but an accident happened and the vial was broken letting the disease loose. The Chinese panicked and locked down the country. I have no idea if the story is true.
That didn’t fucking happen.
Dr Wuwu, the current m-RNA gene therapy shot for the Chinese people will protect the Chinese from the next Chinese virus release in April “Liquid Shit Disease” that will kill 100% of the non-Chinese population within the same day of infection. LSD will be airborne and multiplies exponentially able to blanket the Earth in three days.
There will be no time to develop the antidote and inject the entire American population all in a single afternoon.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO THE MATH. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 40K DEATHS EACH DAY IN CHINA, IF THEIR MORTALITY RATE IS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE USA. SO, 60K DEATHS IN ONE MONTH IS LESS THAN A 5% CHANGE…THEY ARE LIKELY BETTER THAN THE USA IN DIAGNOSING COVID19 BECAUSE THE CCP USE THE FECES TEST. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT THAT GOOD…HOW MANY ARE REALLY DYING EACH WEEK?
