After exporting it into excel, and taking out all the locations except for Mainland China MINUS Hubei, and graphing a chart of the total confirmed cases per day, it seems too smooth?

So the data for "all others locations in China outside of Hubei" is just an estimation or projection or what? It seems unlikely that in real life it would be such a perfectly smooth curve (with exception to that one part I boxed in red)"

Good observation but this is not surprising at all. Remember that not only has Hubei been quarantined from other provinces, travel between other Chinese provinces and even between cities and villages within the same province has been greatly reduced. Each province/city was seeded by people from Wuhan, and then each developed its own outbreak independently. Given the numbers of cities and villages in China, it would be surprising if the curve is not smooth.

Thanks to John Oliver of The Today Show for finding this one.

Vietnam made an animated music video teaching safety measures dealing with the coronavirus. The music is surprisingly catchy for an educational video.

John Oliver is the same as the rest of the MSM at his core. I used to like him, but his segments on China are universally biased and awful, and absolutely follows the western MSM party line approach to the letter.

Just look at his Coronavirus coverage. Zero fucks given when it was only impacting China, he is only taking an interest now that it is hitting America and the West. His reporting on China wrt Coronavirus is completely geared towards attacking the Chinese government unfairly by perpetuating the lie that the Chinese government tried to suppress or cover up news about the Coronavirus to start with, and was even disparaging the provenly effective methods China used to contain its spread.

The only reason a talentless below average looking middle aged guy like him got his own TV show is because he either is a True Believer, or is prepared to toe the party line on the big stuff, which includes bashing China at every opportunity.
