Been looking on world meters pretty much every day, if you look today, they have 1290 new deaths in the last 24 yours, the last month or so they have been reporting around 1 to 5 deaths a day! I dont for 1 minute believe there death toll!

Is it the 2nd wave or are they being honest?

I think they have just added a load they didn't admit to before? There must be even more than that - don't trust their figures at all!

Apparently they have adjusted the figures from Wuhan earlier this year because those figures didn’t include people dying in their homes/care homes. (According to the sky news correspondent in China this morning)

They have stated there were 50% more deaths in Wuhan than reported and entered these numbers into the figures. They have not stated any explanation as to how they were missed though.

They found a load of dead people. Weird isnt it.

@Titsywoo
Well, by that reckoning, the UK isn’t “admitting” to likely 5000, possibly 10000 care home deaths. Or, alternatively, they will be added on later, just as China updated the total, once the chaos had subsided and there was an environment conducive to thorough research and calculation.

Er, yes they have stated the reasons very clearly.
