7:08 pm
there has been up until now a severe under reporting of corporate data here. and it follows criticism from the w h 0 as well as the u. s. and other governments that china has not been transparent about the scale of the outbreak. this really is the 1st indication really of how big this outbreak has been in china since the lifting of virus restrictions early december. and the number is really spectacular before this. the only official figure we had about for a death hole was just over $5000.00. so this jump 260000 is really quite big. let me just break down those numbers for you. what the government has said, they said between december 8th and january, the 12 there were 5503 people who died as a result of re spirit re failure due to corvette. and the vast majority, though 54435 died as a result of the combination of one illness with corbett. they said that the average
