Ironic "Free speech" is being brought up in a "CGTN-China" thread.
Is twitter even allowed in PRC? (Way past what multiple govts/admins do vis a vis reporting posts?)
To this day, PRC regime prints the face of a person on its currency that led to the deaths (in most gruesome ways, mostly...
There is also lot of faulty reporting going on (from all ends during a tragedy, given scale of India).
Anyway that is for later to analyse as the situation is just started (and likely lasts about 2 weeks - month at least)...as to what the crematoria numbers even are (since smaller ones that...
Bro, well then you just pick which you like better :) ...it is after all which one you overall prefer most of the time etc.

Been following twitter myself, its lot of extra coverage from massive journalist and indian media groups there (on top of indian citizens themselves)....so really the reporting by BBC/NYT/CNN or whomever else in the typical media cabal worldwide....I really have lost trust on a good long time as...
Yes you must learn from the drastic situation India is facing on ground right now, the 2nd wave timing is about the same for Pakistan overall....so just prevent the unneeded gatherings and shield all elderly as much as possible.....and have abudance of testing as possible.

NYT has always been into extreme tragedy porn for a long time....to get as much clickbait sensationalism/paranoia for later.
While the situation is a dire one (and should not be underplayed), they have cherrypicked (anecdotes mostly) the worst of it and presented it as the entire situation...
