Conspiracy theories also abound. A CBC News report about the Canadian government deporting Chinese scientists who worked in a Winnipeg lab that studies dangerous pathogens was distorted on social media to suggest that they were spies who had smuggled out coronaviruses.https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/mining-coronavirus-genomes-clues-outbreak-s-origins
The recent outbreak of a new and potentially deadly coronavirus in China has, unsurprisingly, kicked off a deluge of misinformation and conspiracy theories … That hasn’t stopped an outbreak of nonsense and conspiracy theories. On Sunday, the Washington Times — a paper with a distinct ideological bent — published an article claiming that the virus’ outbreak could be linked to a military lab in Wuhan.https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/29/coronavirus-china-lab-mortality-virology-wuhan-virus-not-bioweapon
The Pirbright Institute is aware that misinformation regarding the Institute and its research is circulating on social media following an outbreak of a new (novel) coronavirus that infects humans in Wuhan, China. These are the facts regarding our coronavirus research and funding.https://www.pirbright.ac.uk/news/2020/01/pirbright’s-livestock-coronavirus-research-–-your-questions-answered
…
The Pirbright Institute carries out research on infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a coronavirus that infects poultry, and porcine delta coronavirus that infects pigs. Pirbright does not currently work with human coronaviruses.
…
The Institute holds Patent no. 10130701 which covers the development of an attenuated (weakened) form of the coronavirus that could potentially be used as a vaccine to prevent respiratory diseases in birds and other animals. Many vaccines are made in this way, from flu to polio. We have not yet developed an IBV vaccine, but research is ongoing.
…
The Institute is strategically funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, part of UK Research and Innovation (BBSRC UKRI) and also receives funding from many other organisations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The patented work was not funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Color me skeptical. None of these folks seem to know what they are talking about. Three blind men and an elephant.
I found this picture "suggesting the source" hilarious.

Suggestions from various quarters that Kung Fu is fudging numbers

I also watched ABC News and a scientist said as much.

That could all well be true---only time will tell---but if I may ask: where did Tencent and your ABC-scientist buddy get their numbers, and why should they be believed? (I am assuming that those screenshots have indeed been verified and are not the usual mischief that some Chinese get into, on social media, when trying to claim malfeasance by their government.)
Tencent got it from wherever it has been getting the other data; government of course. They are not to be believed,she just reflects skepticism over the numbers Kung Fu man is churning out. There was a Lancet paper with its projections, there are epidemic models,but most importantly, China is keeping a tight leash on any information on the epidemic
China may be fudging numbers. I think they are. Any government would. Because no one wants to create panic or hysteria.
But also there are lots of hysteria and pure propaganda especially on social media and some western media which of course want to portray China in a certain way for their own reasons.
The most reasonable assessment I have heard is that it has reached its peak and within a month it will be contained. Cannot verify it, but that sounds fair enough.
But SARS came from China. Now Corona. And i think there like two others. Why?Tencent got it from wherever it has been getting the other data; government of course.

Any government would fudge numbers of an epidemic so China is just doing what anyone else would?
Why is assuming it has peaked reasonable? Because China has slashed the number of new infections,a totally bullshit parameter because there is fear of testing lest you get infected as you are quarantined,China reportedly can only test 3,000 at most a day.
Trump has been peddling the weather BS,that warmer weather will kill it off. It is unsubstantiated.
I got it from Chinese government official figures. Then WHO doesn't support hysteria or that it's becoming uncontrollable. Then official US who claim to have data on everything and monitoring the situation says as much. I think that's where Trump gets his information from.Any government would fudge numbers of an epidemic so China is just doing what anyone else would?

A total of 1,380 deaths (108 cases in Hubei Province due to repeated statistics)

So yesterday's crazy figures were due to 'double counting' bodies :lolz: :lolz:

Unfortunately, several social media sources have circulated doctored images of our “Epidemic Situation Tracker” featuring false information which we never published.

A massively shared story about the 'real' Coronavirus death toll is fake: Here's how we know
More evidence of fudging numbers. The criteria used to count the deaths and infections was tweaked hence the crazy spike.
This thing is nowhere near the end.

I don't know whether the Chinese are fudging numbers or not; only time will tell, but I would not assume that temporarily inaccurate numbers (which are inevitable) are a confirmation of mischief . Nor is the changing the criteria for listed "cause of death" something that is entirely unknown or unnecessary; consider, for example, the different nasty things that could lead to pneumonia. Nor do "crazy" spikes necessarily indicate that something untoward is afoot; South Korea has just had two really huge spikes---in just two days---in its reported numbers. (I doubt the spikes are because the authorities are "at it again", but you may be able to enlighten us.) As for "the end", yes, it probably nowhere near; SARS spread for something like 8 or 9 months.
It seems China is not alone in fudging. No country wants to be in China’s shoes for a second.
Iran has a cluster and one lawmaker claimed 50 deaths but gavaa says they are ‘only’ 12, a scary figure in and of itself

Current reports points to worsening. And credible theory that Corona is a bio weapon from which leaked from Chinese lab located within Wuhan area.
Am now inclined to believe its getting worse. Government fudge numbers until they no longer can credibly do it anymore.http://www.nhc.gov.cn/xcs/yqtb/202002/553ff43ca29d4fe88f3837d49d6b6ef1.shtmlQuoteA total of 1,380 deaths (108 cases in Hubei Province due to repeated statistics)
