The Chinese city of Wuhan – ground zero for the coronavirus pandemic – has revised its fatality count, increasing the total by just shy of 1,300 deaths, which officials say went unreported due to “delays” and “omissions.”

Authorities in Wuhan added another 1,290 deaths to the city’s death toll on Friday, putting the overall figures at 50,333 infections and 3,869 fatalities in the virus’ first epicenter.

The revision was necessary to “address incorrect reporting, delays and omissions of cases,” city officials said, according to Reuters, with the new numbers increasing Wuhan’s death tally by some 50 percent.

China’s comparatively low fatality figures – which never broke 5,000 overall – have prompted accusations from US officials, who insist the country vastly underreported deaths and new cases and that Beijing conspired with the World Health Organization to “cover up” the extent of its crisis. Little evidence has been brought to support the assertion, however.

I don't think we have any idea of what's really going on in China and we may never know the full extent of their "omissions". I wonder what the future holds for more reports of more Corona death "omitted fatalities"?
