How many people have REALLY been infected with Covid-19 in China? Data shows 1.2 MILLION people had the 'flu' in December - 10 times higher than normal | Daily Mail - Stephen Matthews:
June 19. 2020 - "China suffered ten times more flu cases than average at the end of 2019, according to suspicious figures that cast more doubt over the true scale of the country's Covid-19 crisis. Data published by Chinese officials show 1.2 million cases of influenza were recorded in December – up from 130,000 in the same month the year before. Analysts who spotted the figures fear the 'explosion' of flu – which can cause a fever and cough, the two tell-tale signs of coronavirus – may be down to the 'undetected spread' of coronavirus. Beijing health chiefs first warned of a mysterious disease, now known as Covid-19, on December 31....
"Questions have repeatedly been raised about the accuracy of China's Covid-19 data, with cases of the disease tracked back to November and studies suggesting the real death toll is much higher than official data shows.... Early reports said the first case was diagnosed on December 31 but studies have since suggested that the first cases of the virus were circulating as early as October 2019. At the start, officials insisted the condition was 'mild', 'under control' and was not being transmitted between humans.... And other cities in mainland China didn't reveal they had cases until Hong Kong news media reported that cases of the virus had been confirmed in its region.
"China's huge spike in influenza cases at the end of 2019 was flagged by Taiwanese consultancy group SindoInsider, The Times reports. It pointed to data released by the nation's Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). SindoInsider claimed Chinese health officials ... stopped providing flu updates on December 27, four days before Covid-19 cases were first reported. The report said: 'We have reasons to believe that the uncharacteristic explosion of flu cases in December may be due to the undetected spread of the coronavirus. We estimate that tens of thousands of people could have been infected with Covid-19 by the end of December.'
"A separate study released this week suggested China covered up the true size of its epidemic, after calculating deaths based on the activity of crematoriums in Wuhan. Wuhan crematori[a] were operating 24 hours a day at full capacity during the peak of the crisis, according to reports analysed by the researchers. They estimated Wuhan was burning up to 2,000 bodies a day by the second week of February, when the official death toll for the whole of China was only 700. And they suggested by March 23 – when the UK went into lockdown – around 36,000 people had died in Wuhan alone. China's official toll at the time was 2,524....
"A surge in road traffic outside Wuhan hospitals at the end of last summer – coupled with an increase in internet searches for coronavirus-like symptoms – suggests Covid-19 could have hit China before autumn. A study from Harvard Medical School led by Dr John Brownstein analysed commercial satellite imagery. His team 'observed a dramatic increase in hospital traffic outside five major Wuhan hospitals beginning late summer and early fall 2019'. He said the traffic surge 'coincided' with a rise in internet searches for symptoms that are 'closely associated' with coronavirus, ABC News reported....
"A graph of the data shows the number of cars began to increase in August and peaked in December before falling when lockdown was introduced.... Brownstein said ... his results were 'pointing to something taking place in Wuhan at the time'. He said that on 10 October 2019 there were 285 cars parked at Wuhan's Tianyou Hospital - 67 per cent more than the 171 recorded that same day a year earlier."
