China, the world’s first outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia, continues to tout the success of fighting the epidemic at home and abroad, and officials have taken the initiative to poke fun at the ineffectiveness of epidemic prevention in countries with epidemics. serious. In the face of external doubts about the concealment of the truth about infection rates, tests and death counts, the authorities have always insisted that the information be open and transparent. However, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention published on the public platform WeChat on the 28th “Questions and answers about the results of the National Seroepidemiological Study of New Coronary Pneumonia”. Study results showed that the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic that broke out earlier this year was in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, where the virus was first discovered. The actual number of infections can be almost 10 times higher than the official notification, which is equivalent to about 500,000 infected people.
According to foreign media reports, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a seroepidemiological survey of Wuhan national pneumonia in April, which covered the provinces and cities of Wuhan, Hubei other than Wuhan, and 6 provinces and cities in addition from Hubei, namely Beijing, Liaoning, Shanghai and Jiangsu. , Guangdong and Sichuan. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that this survey “aims to understand the situation of new coronavirus infections among the general population in areas with different prevalence levels of Wuhan pneumonia”, and the time point It is “1 month after the first wave of Wuhan pneumonia was contained in China.”
The survey sampled more than 34,000 people in the community and estimated the degree of novel coronavirus infection in the population by detecting serum antibodies to the new coronavirus. The positive rate of COVID-19 among the community population of Wuhan is 4.43%; According to the data reported by the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, as of the 27th, the total number of confirmed cases in Wuhan is 50,354. If calculated with a positive antibody rate of 4.43%, Wuhan, with a population of about 11 million, may have more than 480,000 infected people, which is almost 10 times the official figure.
Yanzhong Huang, senior researcher on global health issues at the US Council on Foreign Relations, emphasized that the study showed that Wuhan had incomplete reporting of the number of confirmed diagnoses during the outbreak, in part because the situation at the time it was chaotic and the official number did not include asymptomatic infections. Foreign media noted that underreporting is a problem faced by health departments in many countries, usually due to a lack of capacity and resources, but there is also a transparency problem in China, because officials often provide the public with more data. optimistic of who they really are.
The Russian government has also been questioned by the outside world. On the 28th, he admitted to “misreporting” the death toll from Wuhan pneumonia. The actual number of deaths due to the new corona virus was revised from the original 55,000 to 186,000. It was the Russian president. Vladimir Putin (Vladimir Putin) claimed three times, which also made Russia’s death toll from the epidemic exceed the third in the world, surpassed only by the United States with 335,000 people and Brazil with 148,000 people. Agence France-Presse reported that Putin has always claimed that Russia has a low death rate from the epidemic, indicating that the country’s epidemic control is better than that of Western countries, but many people have always suspected that Moscow authorities have downplayed the epidemic.
