Is China's Covid-19 Death Total Accurate?

The official data, which shows a fall of more than 150,000 people receiving the benefits in the first quarter of last year, will fuel fears the death toll from Covid-19 in China was far higher than the government has admitted. Pictured, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 


Disturbing Chinese government statistics reveal a huge drop in the number of old people receiving state payments in Hubei – the province containing the city of Wuhan – in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic’s eruption. 

The official data, which shows a fall of more than 150,000 people receiving the benefits in the first quarter of last year, will fuel fears the death toll from Covid-19 in China was far higher than the government has admitted. 

According to the Chinese authorities, there have been only 4,636 Covid deaths in their nation of 1.4 billion – with all except 124 of the fatalities in the central province of Hubei. 

There is widespread scepticism over these figures. 


WNU Editor: Everyone I know in China does not believe the official number of only 4,636 Covid-19 deaths. My gut tells me that hundreds of thousands probably died in just the first three months of the outbreak alone.

China's numbers are as "real" as Lapide's grasp of reality.
