China recognizes that 1,290 more people have died in Wuhan than had been said so far

  • Chinese authorities have updated the number of victims of the city of Wuhan, the Chinese city most hit by the Covid-19 plague, increasing the story by 50%: A total of 3,869 deaths have been recorded, of which 2,579 have not been victims, according to the data provided. Thus, at least in part they were right to those who reported that more people have died than the authorities said in Wuhan.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The Chinese authorities have added to a new figure the number of deaths due to not being able to reach hospitals and the number of deaths in private clinics and centres that did not report in time. That is why China, which in recent days has accumulated very rare deaths in global statistics, has suddenly risen its death toll from 3,342 to 4,632. In the world’s victim ranking, China is now ranked 8th, ahead of the United States, Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Iran and Belgium. In the world, until early April 17, the coronavirus has killed 146,872 people.

Many in China questioned the official death toll in Wuhan. During the early days of the plague, the local authorities wanted to keep the matter hidden, then severely silenced the journalists who were dementing official statistics and also some well-known doctors. That is what many citizens suggested, who also had their personal experiences.

The update of the Wuhan figures coincides with the day when it is known that the Chinese economy has not grown in the first three months of 2020, but has grown by 6.8%. China has not known this distress since the beginning of this century.
