China has said the death toll in Wuhan is 50percent higher than previous thought , saying the undercount was due to overwhelmed health care system, are people right who have been saying they covered the real truth.

I said from Day 1 on here - " I Don't believe a word that comes out of that country " - Like many more posters on here .
The same applies to this country with our figs - well under reported and excuses to how they report things .

China's death toll had been steady at around 3,300 for weeks - until today, when it jumped to more 4,600.

That's because the city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began, raised its death toll by 50% - that's 1,290 cases - attributing it to updated reporting, and more deaths from outside hospitals being counted.

There has been doubt over China's figures for some time, with US President Donald Trump suggesting they "seem to be a little bit on the light side".

Releasing the corrected toll, Wuhan city officials insisted there had been no cover-up of the real figures.

Wuhan's 11 million residents spent 11 weeks in strict lockdown conditions, which have only recently been eased.

China denies cover-up of deaths

China has denied there has been a cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

The comments by Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian came hours after the death toll in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged, was revised upwards by 1,290 people.

He said this was the result of a statistical review to ensure accuracy and that revisions are a common international practice, Reuters news agency reports.

They wouldn't even admit they had it for god knows how long. Id bet my life savings on it being massively morethan what they report. I dont see why tho and what they are trying to prove.

China is run by gangsters masquerading as Communists.The government are pathological liars is it not convenient that whilst the world is in lock down with an economic depression, the scale of which we have not seen about to hit, China is open for business! The virus penetrated Europe yet managed to bypass Shanghai and Beijing what luck!!!!!! We should all look to ourselves after this and boycott all Chinese products.
