"Whatever China says must ALWAYS be a lie"

"every commenter on reddit and HN were saying China was covering it up"

Stop using absolutes. There are plenty of people in the US that realize the US numbers have been suppressed by a lack of testing. There are plenty of people in the US who actually think China has handled the situation better than our own dysfunctional government.

The only absolute truth is that we don't have all of the information yet.

I think GP was probably being hyperbolic. Speaking with temperament sadly doesn't work well on the Internet.

Regardless, HN prides itself on reasoned debate, and straw man/flamebait responses are against the TOS here.
