According to them they don't have any new infections and their lock down has been lifted. I think they said it took them 11weeks-Is that a good time line for us? 

Just wondering how long this isolation will last. My heart goes out to those who had non essential jobs  because rent will continue to pile up and when this is all over I feel homelessness will sky-rocket. Just hoping our previous life can be restored soon.

If history is our guide, even excluding the rapid global spread from airliners, etc. Using centralized Europe as my historical example; I don't see a pestilence running its course in a matter of weeks or few months; unless a cure or vaccine is discovered and massively implemented.

As far as what China has to say: I believe them as much as CNN, ABC, NBC, Nancy Pelosi, and the want to be president whom thinks he is running for the Senate.

From the interviews that we saw people are running out of food and don't have the money to replace their pantries...

Yes individuals at the local church body I associate with are packaging up canned foods to distribute to many that do not have financial means or physical ability to fend for themselves. I am supposing we are not unique, and that many if not every church body is tending their neighbors needs. People in the neighborhood have checked on me and I have also checked on others here.

We have two internet meeting places where we try and watch over most of the people  in our local neighborhoods....   We check on our neighbors every couple of days to make sure they are ok.

The CCP is, in all likelihood, lying about their data. The amount of time it takes will depend on the actions states and countries use to combat the virus among other factors.

It's hard to tell, and it varies by country and state. New York is hitting its peak right about now, but there may be explosions of cases in other states here in the US.

China has discovered many effective medicine against Corona n announce it to the world, while the world only blames them.

the only one who seems to be fitting that last description ,  seems like the gov of new york , or is it mayor .    every time he speaks it seems he is grooming himself for a politcal position .

I cant think of the guys name .    he has dark hair .    he was the one who had new york make its own hand sanitizer .      I always get the feeling that man wants to run for president one day .

China also has an interest in keeping up its public image and distracting from its everything else. Sure it does research, but the CCP arrested the doctors who first warned about the virus and tried to keep the pandemic hidden at first, which ultimately led to this becoming a full-blown pandemic. This is beside the fact that they're using the Belt and Road initiative to expand its influence across the world, that it's practically invading Hong Kong, that their own citizens are censored from basic information about events like the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and that it's keeping millions of Uyghurs in "reeducation camps".

I am grateful to China for the good it can do, but that does not anywhere near excuse the CCP's past and current actions which make me so untrustworthy of their current data.

Sorry I just cant believe their figures, it is so out of portion

the only time I might believe their figures if there is plenty of independent verification

I agree their data does not sound right, most of the official data comes from governmental sources

and I would dear you to openly question it in main land china.

your citizen scoring would go right down, no credit, not being able to purchase a plane or train ticket, big brother would be on to you.

As said above ship you off to a re-education camp. to learn their corrupted vision of the bible.

They are not to be trusted.

This is why the government of china hates the church of God because our final word comes from God not the Chinese communist party.
