It is estimated that the number of corona19 infections in Wuhan, China, could reach 500,000, 10 times more than what the authorities announced.

There is the possibility of a deliberate reduction, but the Chinese authorities are also tense, as there may be many asymptomatic infections.

The Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released the results of corona19 antibody tests on the mainland.

Unsurprisingly, more than 4 out of 100 people had antibodies in the Wuhan region, which was hit the hardest.

Wuhan has the highest number of antibodies with 4.43%, Hubei province has 0.44% and other regions have antibodies in 1 in 6,000 people.

If Wuhan’s antibody retention rate of 4.43% is replaced by 11 million citizens, it is about 500,000.

Most of these people are probably people who once had Corona 19 and later healed.

The CNN broadcast interpreted it to mean that the number of infected people in Wuhan was ten times higher than the 50,000 people officially announced.

Above all, it is possible that the number was reduced intentionally or through negligence during the chaos in the first days of the outbreak.

It’s possible that the number of asymptomatic infections that China excluded from the confirmed case statistics reached hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan alone earlier this year.

It is for this reason that China is already very nervous ahead of the Lunar New Year movement in February next year.

With 470 million people expected to travel by train alone, Chinese authorities were quick to take action.

China also continues to increase vaccines by region for cold food workers, quarantine personnel and trafficking workers.

The city of Beijing recommended that winter holidays, which usually start in late January, be brought forward a week or two and refrain from going to other regions.
