Wuhan reports no new coronavirus cases for 1st time since outbreak

China s coronavirus epicenter has reported no new cases of the disease for the first time since the outbreak began there in late December.

The country s health ministry said Thursday that 34 cases were detected over the last 24 hours but all of the positive results came from people arriving to the country from abroad.

The fact that there were no new infections in the virus hotbed city of Wuhan or the surrounding Hubei province signals an end to the outbreak in China could be in sight.

We’re seeing a strange effect of CCP propaganda. They say there are “no new cases.” It probably a lie. But is it certain to be a lie? No: We have to admit that, in fairness. (Ha!) But when all that is offered is a probable lie, day after day, and it’s a lie you want to believe, eventually, you treat it as the truth, or as what will have to do until the truth comes along. I’m sure the CCP is familiar with this effect. They probably have a name for it.
