Henan has been experiencing record rainfall and floods in the past few days. The subway was apparently submerged at one point, and 12 casualties have been reported by state media. If you search 郑州地铁 on Twitter, you can find video footage of the chaos underground, but I'll warn that it's graphic and not for the faint of heart.

Still, floods in Germany and China, as well as wildfires across North America? This year is certainly giving 2020 a run for it's money.

The real death toll is way, way, way more than 12.

They were slow to admit to realistic Covid death figures too.

A highway tunnel under the Yellow River was flooded during rush hour. There were pictures of submerged cars drifting in the water, and of dead bodies lying on the pavement. State media claimed that only two people died in that flood. That lie is far more outrageously insulting than their claim that there were only 44 cases in Wuhan.
