Superior stats
Recorded WuFlu cases in Pooh's fetid sewer have reached an all-time high as the Chongvirus enjoys its nationwide tour, sparking more stringent lockdowns and clashes between the sewer rats. Yet China's official statistics indicate that mortality rates are around a thousandfold lower than in the US and UK at the peak of the pandemic. Which goes to prove the superiority of China's response statistics.
At the same time, Kerry Allen of BBC Monitoring—whatever that means as a reporting pigeonhole—informs us that those same rats are questioning why crowds attending the World Cup aren't facing the same restrictions as them, as they watch the tournament broadcast on China's national TV station.
The solution is simple. Since the Chinese national team didn't make it through to the finals—presumably they couldn't fake their qualifying matches' statistics—just stop broadcasting the tournament. It shouldn't be too difficult, and I don't understand why Pooh's cronies didn't think of it before.
Chinese officials are relaxing WuFlu restrictions in light of a new situation
, according to vice-premier Sun Chunlan. But it has absolutely nothing to do with saving face while backing down in response to riots. Oh no.
Restrictions in major cities like Guangzhou were abrupted [sic] lifted on Wednesday, hours after the city saw violent protests that resulted in clashes between police and protesters.

And, once again, the BBC trots out the CCP's propaganda on survival statistics:
China has in recent days recorded its highest number of daily Covid cases since the pandemic began - with more than 36,000 cases recorded on Wednesday. However, the numbers are still tiny for a country of 1.4 billion people and officially just over 5,200 have died since the pandemic began. That equates to three Covid deaths in every million in China, compared with 3,000 per million in the US and 2,400 per million in the UK, although direct comparisons between countries are difficult.

Direct comparisons are difficult? How so, Yvette? Could it be because because meaningful comparisons can only be made if the statistics come from a trustworthy source and can be verified? (thinking)
