Many here pointed out that the coronavirus numbers coming from China are suspect. Tracked death count so far runs between 3,100 and 3,400 as of this posting. However, activities on the ground in Wuhan hints that more have died in China as a result of this virus.<\/p>\n
Wuhan area families receive cremated remains each day. Crematoriums are working long hours. The number of urns handed out and hours worked in the crematoriums, puts the potential death numbers above 40,000.<\/p>\n
From Radio Free Asia:<\/span><\/p>\n Some social media posts have estimated that all seven funeral homes in Wuhan are handing out 3,500 urns every day in tota<\/span><\/strong>l.<\/p>\n Funeral homes have informed families that they will try to complete cremations before the traditional grave-tending festival of Qing Ming on April 5, which would indicate a 12-day process beginning on March 23.<\/p>\n Such an estimate would mean that 42,000 urns would be given out during that time.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Various calculations<\/p>\n Another popular estimate is based on the cremation capacity of the funeral homes, which run a total of 84 furnaces with a capacity over 24 hours of 1,560 urns city-wide, assuming that one cremation takes one hour.<\/p>\n This calculation results in an estimated 46,800 deaths.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n A resident of Hubei province, of which Wuhan is the capital, said most people there now believe that more than 40,000 people died in the city before and during the lockdown<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There’s also the question of the actual number infected. Granted, these numbers are based on tests and doctor diagnosis. However, there were reports that government officials in China allegedly rejected the actual numbers and insisted on their official numbers.<\/p>\n Many of these are guesses\/estimates from the ground, but the number of cremated remains handed out is inconsistent with official numbers.\u00a0This is just from Hubei. The rest of China also was impacted by the virus.\u00a0Radio Free Asia has the article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
