California is now an island.
Only metaphorically, unfortunately.
maybe we can set off a series of charges along the San Andreas fault line and make it happen for them
+1 for Rent for Pres - after Donald. I am glad to see that Donald will also not let any crisis go to waste, just like the libiturds do. Use it as an excuse to close the southern boarder! Use it to undermine the Globalists and the Libiturds. Use it to squash the Demirats in the Libiturd capital of Kommiefornia.
I read a lot of conspiracy theories that the Chinese released this virus on purpose. Payback for Trump not falling in line like the previous four prezs. Sure, they could have released something more fatal. But they don't want to kill off any members of the Central Commie Committee! They don't mind killing off a few hundred thousand Chinese. That is nothing compare to how many Mao killed off 60 years ago. Payback to the rest of the world that is trying to choke off the Chinese Communist Party from their global domination. They want to kill off the anti-globalist movement permanently. Bankrupt the US using Fed bailouts to fight this.
But what do I know.

Similar drops in numbers across their other mobile telephone carriers too, over 14 million in total. They have never lost customers before, only gained them due to increasing adoption. Does it mean anything? We'll see across the world shortly if they have been lying about true infection rates. Reports are leaking out from dissidents that they are in pretty deep shit over there.

I have more sources, I just posted that one. None of them prove anything, of course. But I already said that.

I wonder if China uses a pay-as-you-go model like Mexico, where most people have to go to a store or ATM like device to recharge their account?
I am also wondering if this is going to run through the Libitard bastions of homeless out in Seattle, San Fagcisco and LA. Killing them off and solving the homeless issue for them? Yeah, the libitards let them live in squalor - that is so humane.

The only thing that makes sense as to the reason why they "deal with" the homeless/junkie situation as they do is that because they're trying to piss everyone off into voting for more dramatic socialism to fix it.

There are no other (reliable) sources. I searched.

China Operators Shed Subscribers In Saturated Mobile Market
It hasn't been a good start to the year for China operators – and it's not necessarily the fault of the coronavirus.
The subs figures for January, before the virus became a national health threat, show numbers down across the board, including a hefty 39% drop in demand for new handsets.
All three operators experienced a net loss in mobile subs, despite the availability of low-cost 5G and the recent introduction of mobile number portability.
The stats, released last week, show China Mobile had lost 862,000 mobile subs, China Unicom 1.19 million and China Telecom 430,000. For Unicom, it was the fourth successive month in which net customer numbers had declined.
Analysts aren't clear on what lies behind the figures.
One view is simply that it's a sign of saturation. With 114% mobile penetration, not even 5G will be enough to deliver customer growth.
Another is that this is a sign of 5G overhanging the market.
Customers are keen on 5G, with monthly packages starting from an affordable RMB128 ($18.20) for 30GB of data. But they are turned off by the limited range of devices, their high prices and the spotty coverage.
Another theory is that subscriber numbers have been inflated by the those who have bought second and third SIMs for the additional data packages. These people are now swapping out their 4G packages and becoming single-card 5G users, taking advantage of the vastly higher data caps on the new network.
After all, despite its net loss of subs in January, China Mobile has racked up 6.74 million 5G subscriptions since the November launch. Unicom and Telecom have an estimated 2 million 5G subscribers each.
So we may be at the beginning of a trend, with the 4G customer base set to contract quickly as 5G sign-ups climb.
What is clear, though, is that the market is in a holding pattern as a result of the virus, which began on the eve of the Spring Festival break, one of the major annual shopping seasons.
This shows up in the handset sales. The device market has already been on pause since the fourth quarter ahead of the arrival of new 5G devices. According to IDC, domestic smartphone shipments were down 15.6% in the last quarter – the eleventh consecutive quarterly decline.
But in January handset sales plunged 39%, says the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT).
On the upside, CAICT's numbers do suggest some excitement about 5G. Of the 20.8 million devices shipped last month, 5.5 million were 5G-compatible.
But IDC anticipates a 40% decline in February and a year-on-year decline of more than 30% throughout the first quarter.
