I reckon they should use bitcoin to fix this hehehe. They will hit 2 birds with 1 stone. They can report more than healthy electricity consumption and activity, however, they can also produce bitcoins as grounds for the
fraudulent behavior hehehehe.
Local companies and officials are fraudulently boosting electricity consumption and other metrics in order to meet tough new back-to-work targets as the spread of the new coronavirus in China wanes, a Caixin investigation has found.
Leaving lights and air conditioners on all day in empty offices, turning on equipment, faking staff rosters and even coaching factory workers to deceive inspectors are just some of the ways companies fabricate rosy statistics for local governments to report up the chain.Read in full https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/Lights-go-on-but-no-one-goes-to-workthe catch is if the infection rate is 3x that of the flu...and 10x more serious than the flu...and the experts say 40% to 60% will catch this worldwide.
Well, that will be IMHO, much higher in cities, even cities of say 5K or above in the USA as an example.
Add to all the 'fun facts' above, that it will take up to 1 to 1.5 years for a vaccine...a person has to wonder whether those who get it at the 'beginning' of this Pandemic
won't have better medical care and such, before every 4th person out of 10 people you see on the street is contagious.
Even if (as I hope) this virus is milder, as they also say 80% recover. Who wants to get something that is a cross between a hard flu sickness and lung congestion/Pneumonia!
This would suck and put you down for 2 weeks to a month, even if 'indeed' 80% recover, no matter how 'crummy' this scenario is.
So with my above facts, what do people really think if 40% of folk who work in this country..simply can't for 2 weeks to a month, due to being ill with these
flu/pneumonia symptoms...will do to the economy. This could be economically and health-wise almost as bad as the sickness itself for most people, in their lost
wages and medical expenses in the USA. Again, if above had 'some' truth to this and it really does take up to 1 to 1.5 years for a vaccinee.
Hate to say the sky is falling, but get your sh*t together, the current Trump Administration, IMHO, certainly does not seem to be on the ball!
