In case people don't want to click on a zerohedge article, here is the actual source for the claim "China expands coronavirus outbreak lockdown to 56 million people", from Aljazeera: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/china-expands-coronavirus-outbreak-lockdown-fast-tracks-hospital-200124201635848.html https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/china-expands-coronav...

  I find ZeroHedge usually has links to the source articles and they are often "mainstream".

    I don't mind that ZeroHedge as it often cites news that isn't picked up on MSM. However, I have a massive concern about the bias in ZeroHedge. I remember once reading an article in which the final lines are something bold and along the lines of "remember they hate you and are coming for you" type rhetoric. That was completely not cited. I find that extremely concerning. Also, similarly, they at one point ran an article about a John Hopkins doctor who is against gender affirmation treatment towards trans people. I googled more about their papers and the like, only to find that the doctor only published their work in religious-oriented research and has actually be disavowed by several medical practitioners who specialize in trans medical concerns. None of this was cited in the article. This has overall made me quite leery of the validity of ZeroHedge on anything but the links that ZeroHedge cites.

      Generally with zerohedge I mostly stick to the financial stuff, since that is usually properly sourced, even if the site does have a bearish bias its still usually good info. There are definitely some heavily biased political articles though.

    The founder of ZeroHedge, Daniel Ivandjiiski, is a white collar criminal convicted of insider trading. It's hard to imagine a less reputable source.

      Does he have anything to do with it now, though? I thought the site was sold a few years back.

        He’s still Tyler Durden.

> Approximately 58 million in lockdown, this is apocalyptic. Seem the right thing to do when you have 1.3 thousand millions of people. I wonder if bad air quality in China could have boosted the problem in any case. It seems that Wuhan area today ranks from 'moderate' to 'unhealthy for sensitive groups'. http://aqicn.org/map/wuhan/ http://aqicn.org/map/wuhan/ That is pretty good for Chinese standards, I suposse. https://aqicn.org/map/china/ https://aqicn.org/map/china/ Thus the problem could quickly scalate if the coronavirus manages itself to reach the northern areas tagged in red or purple. International trade of chinese products could be hurt also. There is a lot at stake for the country.

Probably that number will grow very fast, specially between countries that cannot detect it properly: Africa

Preventative measures do not need to be just right so that number is no measurement of severity
