Earlier quoted context omitted.

Whoever's downvoting this comment, how do you refute the point that export numbers are hard to fake? It would collusion from all of China and all of the importing countries.

> how do you refute the point that export numbers are hard to fake? By the fact that there are already reports of factories throughout the world that kept operating eventhough they were experiencing an outbreak of covid19 within their staff. And let's be honest: no one places China in the top spots in rankings on safe working conditions and human rights.

Right. And then you get sickness and death.

Which is why I wrote: Secondly, Trump would break that news if it were fact. Hiding 10’s of thousands of deaths and 100’s of thousands of very ill is extremely difficult in the modern world when relatives live overseas.

The “stacks of urns” can almost be answered by the quote from the article: “There were 56,007 cremations in Wuhan in the fourth quarter of 2019”. (Edit: I shortened quote). After a month of lockdown, the number of backlogged urns should be over 18000.

Note: Bloomberg lowered number from 56,007 to 13,856 — see note at bottom “(Corrects characterization of 2018 and 2019 cremations data in story published March 27.)”
