In an all too familiar "didn't you just know it" China moment, the death toll from Wuhan has just been revised up by 1,290 from 2,579 to 3,869. Total China wide death toll now 'officially' at 4,632

The recalculation was attributed by the Wuhan authorities to 4 main issues, shown below. Sounds though more like the kind of miscalculations that would occur if there were tens of thousands of deaths to begin with.

1. A surge of patients in the early stage of the outbreak caused a shortage of medical resources and inadequacy in the city’s treatment capacity. That resulted in some patients dying at home

2. Hospitals were overwhelmed, which resulted in delayed, missing or erroneous reporting of cases and deaths, according to the notice.

3. The vast network of health-care institutions involved in treating patients with the coronavirus, some failed to provide timely updates about the cases they were handling.

4. Finally, registration of some deaths was either repeated or misreported.

"1. A surge of patients in the early stage of the outbreak caused a shortage of medical resources and inadequacy in the city’s treatment capacity. That resulted in some patients dying at home"

So instead of telling the world, they covered it up and stockpiled face masks and supplies from around the world
