The doubts from critics who thought China has not been transparent in their dealings since the outbreak of the pandemic has just received some boost.
Reports coming in indicates that, China has on Friday increased the total number of deaths in the epicenter Wuhan by 50 percent sparking new set of suspicion.
A total number of 1,290 deaths has been added to the 2,579 previously reported as of Thursday. The state’s media however explained that, the reason for the increase in numbers is due to deaths that occurred outside hospitals which could not be captured by hospital records.
The Xinhua News Agency also quoted an unidentified health official in Wuhan to have said that, “due to the insufficiency in admission and treatment capability, a few medical institutions failed to connect with the disease prevention and control system in time, while hospitals were overloaded and medics were overwhelmed with patients”.
The critics are still not buying the new explanation. Many people are attributing the changes to pressure from the widespread suspicion about their dealings.
Key among those who doubted the figures China was reporting is Donald Trump, President of the United States. “Do you really believe those numbers in this vast country called China, and that they have a certain number of cases and a certain number of deaths; does anybody really believe that?” Trump questioned.
The new update has brought the latest official death toll in Wuhan to 3,869 with the national death toll now above 4,600. Total number of confirmed cases in Wuhan has also increased by 325.
