[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5478103, member: 48469"] Silly comrades and their numbers! 🙂 Bloomberg: China Stops Releasing Daily Covid Data as Accuracy Questioned “China’s National Health Commission will stop publishing daily Covid-19 case numbers, after the accuracy of its data was questioned as millions were infected nationwide and the official tally remained strikingly low. The commission didn’t provide a reason for the change in policy in a statement on Sunday, but said that the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention will release Covid-related info for studies and reference. Some Chinese cities have reported daily infections that far surpassed the official tally, adding to doubt of the numbers provided by the NHC. As many as 248 million people, or nearly 18% of the population, likely contracted the virus in the first 20 days of December, according to minutes from an internal meeting of China’s National Health Commission held on Wednesday, Bloomberg reported. Hospitals in major cities including Beijing and Shanghai have been overwhelmed, while crematoriums are struggling to cope.” [/QUOTE]
