Three years after the first cases, China faces its worst wave of covidand the rapid spread of the virus across the country has cast doubt on the reliability of official figures. Faced with this new outbreak, the country’s hospitals, morgues and crematoriums are once again overwhelmed.
This past Sunday, the country’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it would stop publishing the daily report in which, since the beginning of 2020, it detailed new cases of covid-19 and deaths from the disease.
Before the Doubts about the veracity of your datain recent weeks, the health authorities had stopped disclosing the number of infections that, according to their standards, were considered asymptomatic, although these were only reported in the aforementioned daily report but never added to the official balances of cases, to which only those infected who did present the required symptoms were added.
The end of the obligation to undergo routine PCR tests for most of the population resulted in a detection of cases significantly less than the actual spread of the virus.
The last official report, published on Saturday, reported only 4,128 new infections and no deaths, placing the sum of symptomatic infections since the start of the pandemic at almost 400,000 and that of deaths at 5,241.
However, the supposed minutes of a meeting of the National Health Commission indicated that the real number of new daily infections could have reached 37 million and that, in the first days of this month, some 248 million people -18% of the national population – contracted the disease.
In the absence of information at the national level, some provinces and cities have begun to make their own data on the wave of infections public.
