""Getting groceries delivered through Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant, has become a different experience in China since the coronavirus outbreak. After a Saturday order on Alibaba's grocery site, a message popped up on my phone:

"Hi, I am your deliveryman and my body temperature is normal today. Wearing a mask, I am on my way to deliver your order. Please be ready to receive it at the designated time."

Many residential compounds in major cities across China, including the capital, are now strictly limiting access to residents only. Delivery people are no longer allowed in.

Recipients usually have to go outside to pick up their orders. In my compound, delivery people have taken to pushing grocery bags through the gap between a now-locked side gate and the floor.""
The numbers of victims are fake. Either intentionally lowered, or they are artifically lowered due to bandwidth reasons in that they can only test so many people. There is currently 400 million chinese under some form of quarantine. I've read that on average 30k people in china die every day between accidents, old age, illnesses, etc. 50 daily from pneumonia alone. You do not quarantine 5% of the earths population for 600 dead. It's far worse.

This being said, the issue the rest of the world is already beginning to see is supply chain. Just about every fucking object in front of me that I pick up has "made in china" written on it somewhere.

We have a dental clinic and are about to open another one. All the medical warehouses are out of medical masks and we don't have a single case of the virus in our country. Starting to run out of gloves too. I managed to order some online but the price was 2-3x normal. All of this shit is made in china...
