Haven't heard any real news out of China in weeks now. Seems China more or less managed to achieve full "SHUT IT DOWN" mode. However some anons on a certain basket weaving forum noticed a lot of unique mobile phone numbers in China went missing in the past 2 months. They theorize this massive sudden gap in users reveals the true casualty numbers. If (
and I must point out this is a planetary sized "If") true, the real number of casualties, let alone infections it would imply, is
staggering.

Some other lady with similar graphs:
There are of course reasons to doubt those numbers. For one there could be many bot numbers that scammers and other shady types use which got deactivated. That sort of thing obviously goes on with telecom companies every day in every country, but until the CCP gave the "SHUT IT DOWN" order the telecom companies didn't bother to deal with it so vigorously, let alone all at once as it looks like they may have done. Another explanation is that China only managed to achieve their information blackout by just blanket deactivating these phone numbers, which is something even they wouldn't do on a scale this grand unless there was an emergency to match. They probably thought their traditional censorship means would do the trick, then when it became obvious that wouldn't work they just pulled the plug on entire regions/cities.
Still there are disconcerting signs that this theory may have at least
some validity to it. I found a video in the first tweet's replies from the beginning of February that somehow hasn't been archived, posted here, or shoah'd by the CCP and their lapdogs at Twitter.

The translation in the tweet claims there were massive piles of phones outside that
Chinese Charnel House hastily built hospital in Wuhan that belonged to the dead/cremated. I dunno what the text in the video itself says. Of course it's entirely plausible that the people who owned those phones aren't dead, but they just got forcibly confiscated before being allowed entry. But you know I also got to thinking...Holocaust museums or museums with Holocaust displays always seem to have that one exhibit of shoes from camp prisoners that didn't make it out.
I look at that pile of phones and can't help but wonder the same thoughts --
assuming that video is legit, and those phone owners really are dead.
Overall my thoughts are this: Take everything you hear with a grain of salt, even things you read here. I know salt and a lot of other things are hard to find in the stores these days, but all the same.
