Experts from outside China have been demanding the CCP provide more information regarding the pandemic in China amid the ongoing flare-up.

China’s CDC announced a total of 72,596 deaths as of Jan. 19, since the recent wave of the pandemic last December. However, China’s overwhelmed hospitals and crematories across the country indicate a much higher death toll. A report by UK-based analytics company Airfinity estimates daily deaths of 33,900 and cumulative deaths of 708,000 since Dec. 1, 2022.
