Agreed. I'm astounded by all the comments in this thread that are like "ZH is usually wrong and often crazy, but the few times they're right, they're really right."
Reminds me of the joke, "60% of the time, it works every time."
Or the saying, "a stopped watch is still right twice a day."
You certainly got a point there.
Nonetheless when there were several, quite daily articles about the wuhan situation (with pro-CPC sources like Global Times and anti-CPC like Epoch Times) it got my attention. Weighing the different facts + rumours and taking time to reflect i decided to buy PPE/etc. for me/family/relatives/friends end of january. Helped a lot to keep us safe.
so thank you ZH! you may be the dirty kid on the playground, but you are way more fun and helpful than <insert company you don't like>
