(Central News Agency, Taipei, 12th) The real data of China’s epidemic situation is not transparent, and World Health Organization officials even pointed out that China seriously underreported the death toll; Chinese official experts said that there is no need to investigate the cause of death of each case, and pointed out that the key task during the pandemic is treatment.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly expressed concern recently that China’s official data on COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) does not reflect the true impact of the current surge in cases.
Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO’s public health emergency program, said on the 11th that “the WHO continues to believe that the number of deaths in China has been seriously underreported.” definition, stating that “doctors in the public health system need to be encouraged to report these cases, not discouraged”.
Wang Guiqiang, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Peking University First Hospital, explained the definition of death due to the epidemic in China in December last year, saying that the official will only consider those who tested positive and died of respiratory failure as deaths due to the epidemic; other chronic diseases or heart attacks, etc. The deceased, even if infected with COVID-19 before death, will not be classified as a death due to the epidemic.
Voice of America reported on the 12th that Chinese officials do not seem to be in a hurry to change practices, including the definition and statistics of new crown deaths.
Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission’s Epidemic Response and Disposal Work Leading Group, told the media that there is no need to investigate the cause of death of each case at present, and the key task during the pandemic should be treatment.
Liang Wannian said, “The current focus for the world is to survive the pandemic. Surviving the new crown is a public health event of global concern. Let us look back and study how this death is classified.”
When talking about the classification of COVID-19 deaths, he said that it is best to reach a global consensus. If no consensus can be reached, “each country will make a classification according to its own situation.”
Voice of America said that according to official data, China has recorded only 37 deaths related to the new coronavirus since last month, out of a population of 1.4 billion. Faced with this discrepancy, the WHO expressed understanding for countries choosing to require COVID-19 testing for travelers from China. (Editor: Tang Peijun/Zhou Huiying) 1120112
