I have heard about the Chernobyl incident and I haven't watched series yet but I will watch soon.
It's a different case, Chernobyl was a nuclear reactor failure.
they hid real number because they don"t wants their people fear it and to save there economy from dropping now they are making money while other countries in lockdown.
I think it's more to save their asses from sanctions and UN intervention (about closing their wild animal markets).
It may not be a conspiracy but it can surely be a fuck-up while exploring about some sort of strategic advantage from bio-attacks.
But scientists have predicted this event would occur. We can find a lot of SARS 1.0 paper stating similar statements.
What we learn is that:
- China didn't learn from SARS 1.0;
- China didn't take the SARS 2.0 seriously;
- China doesn't want to take responsibility.
I don't think there is financial benefit on top of this pandemic, since all markets are connected.
here I fund news here they're saying that in Wuhan coronavirus death count of approximately 2,500 deaths to date, with most people believing the actual number is at least 40,000. this tells cina are not really telling us real number and maybe we will never know how many died.
