China has gone from being a country with an incredibly small number of infections to, perhaps, the world’s largest covid hotspot
how many Chinese people have been infected so far. The central government is probably modelling the outbreak, but the data it releases to the public are useless. It had been reporting only a few thousand new cases a day, nowhere near the real number. Some regional governments have provided more plausible estimates. Officials in Zhejiang, a wealthy eastern province with a population of about 65m, said on December 25th that they were seeing 1m new infections a day.
According to the government, only 13 people have died from covid so far in December. The real toll is. China only counts as covid deaths those who die from respiratory failure or pneumonia. But the virus often causes death by damaging other organs. China’s crematoriums are busy. Police have been stationed outside one in Beijing that has attracted reporters. Earlier this month Airfinity, a London-based data firm, estimated that over 5,000 people were probably dying of covid in China every day.
