China had understated the true figures on the incidence of outbreaks of coronavirus in the country. It is reported on Wednesday the Agency Bloomberg with reference on the passed the White house a report of the American razvedyational community.
According to the source, who has read the report, it is clear that China has intentionally provided incomplete data on people infected and deaths. The interlocutors of the Agency noted that the report is classified, therefore, refused to talk about the details. They added that the report was submitted to the US administration last week.
the Outbreak began in China’s Hubei province at the end of 2019, reports “Interfax”. According to the Johns Hopkins University, China reported 82 thousand infected and 3.3 thousand deaths, while in the United States identified 189 thousand cases of infection and more than 4 thousand deaths.
Earlier this week, an expert in immunology at the U.S. Department of state Deborah birx said that the medical community has interpreted the Chinese data: “it was serious, but not as much as anyone expected”. “Just because we may not have enough significant data, we see what happened in Italy and Spain”, – said birx.
Bloomberg notes that the Agency failed to get comments service on public relations of the White house and the Embassy of China in Washington.
Previously, on 19 March, the US President Donald trump said that withholding information about the coronavirus, the government of China contributed to the emergence of pandemic COVID-19. “The world pays a very high price for what they did,” said the us President.
Disease COVID-19 caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, spreading from the Chinese city of Wuhan, the administrative centre of Hubei province in December 2019. The infection quickly took on the character of the epidemic and has gone beyond the country.
the Tightening of censorship and attempts to prevent the dissemination of information on the coronavirus began in fact, before the start of the epidemic. One of those who first raised the alarm, was the doctor If Vanillan, which informed the colleagues about the new virus. Soon after that, Lee called the police and demanded an end to panic and make a public apology. A little later the doctor himself contracted the coronavirus died 7 Feb.
against this policy of the Chinese authorities disputes about the number of victims of coronavirus in China is still going on. In late March, the Ministry of industry and information technology of China announced that in February in all provinces of the country sharply reduced the number of phone users. And talking about mobile and stationary. The data was compared with the same for November 2019.
cell phone Users was 1 600 000 957, became – 1 579 927 000. That is 21 million less. Users of fixed phones was lowered to 840 thousand, writes Colossal.
“the decrease in the number of fixed users may be associated with a nationwide quarantine – many small businesses have closed and disabled rooms, – notes the channel NTD. But how to explain the decrease in the number of active cell phone numbers?”
Perhaps someone from labour migrants could be two numbers of cellular communication. One in his hometown, the second – at the place of work. And in February, they could close one of them, because they could not return to work, suggested the China expert tan Parkview.
economic instability may have prompted some users to disable their numbers. But even considering all these factors, the loss of at least several million users is still without explanation.
“Even if only 10% of rooms has been deactivated due to death from coronavirus, it is already 2 million people,” says tan Parkview.
