‘Incinerators Have Been Working Around the Clock’: Wuhan Residents Say Official Coronavirus Death Toll Fake
Communist Party reportedly paying off bereaved families to keep silent about true death count
“They started distributing ashes and starting interment ceremonies on Monday,” he said.
Over the last week, seven funeral homes in Wuhan have been distributing cremated remains of 500 people every day, according to a source close to the provincial civil affairs bureau.
“Every funeral home reports data on cremations directly to the authorities twice daily,” the source said. “This means that each funeral home only knows how many cremations it has conducted, but not the situation at the other funeral homes.”
In the fourth quarter of 2019 alone, Wuhan saw 56,007 cremations, according to data released by the Wuhan civil affairs agency.
Additionally, photos out of Wuhan show pallets of urns delivered in trucks, with one mortuary receiving over 5,000 urns in a two-day period.
Wuhan reported only about 2,500 #coronavirus deaths, but 5,000 urns were delivered to one mortuary over just 2 days. “Wuhan has seven other mortuaries.” https://t.co/32sIwcJYRq @shanghaiist

“Maybe the authorities are gradually releasing the real figures, intentionally or unintentionally, so that people will gradually come to accept the reality,” a Wuhan resident named Mao told RFA.
The Communist Party is reportedly paying families 3,000 yuan for “funeral allowances” in exchange for their silence.
“There have been a lot of funerals in the past few days, and the authorities are handing out 3,000 yuan in hush money to families who get their loved ones’ remains laid to rest ahead of Qing Ming,” Wuhan resident Chen Yaohui said, referring to the traditional grave tending festival on April 5.
“During the epidemic, they transferred cremation workers from around China to Wuhan keep cremate bodies around the clock,” he added.
China claimed Sunday that Wuhan had only 1 new case of coronavirus in the last 10 days.
Since the coronavirus outbreak went global earlier this year, China launched a massive propaganda campaign to deflect blame, mitigate the fallout of its global reputation, and hide the true scale of the coronavirus devastation it unleashed.
I wonder if the Mother of the Nation’s Baby & her queer mates think they would get away with it in NZ.
The Chinese numbers look really really fishy now.
Spain has twice as many dead as China’s provincial epicentre – where they tried to hide the virus initially, and yet it passed over that 58 million so lightly?
Even France is set to overtake China, as China races to the bottom of the leaderboard.
Although they went even HARDER than our PriNZcess, pretty suspicious how China can ‘beat’ the virus so completely and quickly.
It seems like an extreme version of the testing bias we have in NZ, where the true count can’t be known because even GP referrals get turned down for testing.
In China, if stories are true, they simply dont test except at the border.
The Chinese Communist party is an less open and honest government than Hugzilla’s.
We will never know.
Even deaths from famine during the Great Leap Forward have to be estimated based on ‘missing’ million between early and later 20th century census data.
consider this morning -only the Western governments will give anything approaching valid stats IMO;
11,591 deaths
Italy
7,340 deaths
Spain
3,186 deaths
Hubei China
3,024 deaths
France
2,757 deaths
Iran
……”The Chinese Communist party is an less open and honest government than Hugzilla’s.”……
Mere speculation!
Thousands would have died normally, from a variety of causes. There may be a back log due to the shut down.
Are they adding all deaths together and attributing it to the Wu Hu flu?
Excuse me. Your headline is tautologous. Never trust Communists. It’s taken that they are liars. One just needs to look at the current leader of New Zealand. Everytime she breathes, she lies. QED
