Coronavirus infection rates in the Chinese city of Wuhan, epicenter of the viral outbreak that has since swept the world, may have been 10 times higher than official figures suggest, a study released Wednesday by local health authorities claims.
The desire by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to control the narrative about the virus, its origins, its spread and its infection rates all contributed to the suppression of the facts.
AFP reports about 4.4 percent of the city’s 11 million residents had developed antibodies against the pathogen causing Covid-19 by April, the report by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control (CDC) said.
