(Beijing/New York Comprehensive News) The number of crown -related deaths in Chinese hospitals has fallen sharply, which once again triggers the outside world to question the authenticity of the data.
People's Daily Health Client According to data reports published by the Center for Prevention and Control from China, from December 8, 2022 to February 9, 2023, there were 83,150 cases of crown death in hospitalThe majority of diseases caused by crown disease infection, which caused the majority of the disease to increase death, with a total of 76,519 cases, accounting for about 92.02%.
During this period, the number of deaths in hospitals reached 4273 per day on January 4; then continued to decrease, and fell to 102 cases on February 6, a decrease of 97.6%from the peak.The number of positives fluctuated after reaching a peak of 6.94 million on December 22 last year, and fell to the lowest on February 6, at a minimum of 9,000.
The number of deaths in China dropped from more than 4,000 cases to 102, a large decrease, which exacerbated the outside world questioning the authenticity of the data.The protection of Chinese domestic vaccines such as Kexing is not as good as Modner and Pfizer vaccine, but in the United States, which is generally inoculated in Modner and Pfizer, the number of deaths caused by the epidemic during the early 2022 Omikon is more than 2,600 per day.After more than a month, it dropped to about 1,400 people.
Scholars: The uneven scale and infection distribution should slow down the mortality reduction rate
Huang Yanzhong, a senior researcher at Global Sanitation of the New York Think Tank, said that China's population is several times that of the United States, so the actual number of deaths should be much higher.
On February 6, the number of Chinese deaths in the hospital had fallen by 97.6%from the peak on January 4.
In contrast, Hong Kong and Indonesia have fallen by about 80%in similar periods, 68%in South Korea, 56%in Taiwan, and 45%in Britain and the United States.After the decline in South Africa and India followed China, the number of deaths decreased by 96%and 86%compared with the peaks in the comparable time period, respectively.
Zhang Zuofeng (transliteration), an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, analyzed that the speed of decline in the number of deaths in China is rare.The infection distribution in the region is uneven.
The data of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention only considers patients who die in the hospital, and this may be only a small part of the real mortality, because millions of people in China are not easy to obtain medical care resources, especially in rural areas.
Huang Yanzhong commented that many countries will have missed deaths. The problem is the degree of underestimation and the reason for underestimation.
China has strictly stipulated reports of death cases, only the cases of death in the hospital.Many patients who died at home and even hospitals may not have been tested by crown disease, which makes the real situation blur.
