Massive deliveries of urns in Wuhan have raised fresh skepticism of China’s coronavirus reporting.
As families in the central Chinese city began picking up the cremated ashes of those who have died from the virus this week, photos began circulating on social media and local media outlets showing vast numbers of urns at Wuhan funeral homes.
China has reported 3,299 coronavirus-related deaths, with most taking place in Wuhan, the epicenter of the global pandemic. But one funeral home received two shipments of 5,000 urns over the course of two days, according to the Chinese media outlet Caixin.
It’s not clear how many of the urns were filled.
Workers at several funeral parlors declined to provide any details to Bloomberg as to how many urns were waiting to be collected, saying they either did not know or were not authorized to share the number.
The photos surfaced after both the United States and Italy have reported significantly more cases and than China. Italy has reported just shy of three times the fatalities.

God help us.
With approx 80,000 infected and 45,000 deaths, a death rate higher than 50%. I will guess the number of infected is more than 800,000, maybe still too low?
Let me say this right here and now … any and all official information coming from China must be looked at with scrutiny. There is no other way. And, we may never know the real numbers concerning those that are/were infected and we will never know the true number of dead from COVID 19.
