Infection Count: Wuhan’s Internal Number Was Much Higher Than the Government’s Count

Recently, in order to portray that it has successfully controlled the coronavirus so it can resume production, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been reporting unbelievable low numbers of infection counts in Wuhan and Hubei Province.

From March 14 to 16, the officially released number showed that the daily rate of new confirmed cases was 4, 4, and 1, respectively. The Epoch Times reported that it has obtained the March 14 “Novel Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Test Daily Report” to the Wuhan Health Commission. The report stated that the whole city conducted 16,320 nucleic acid tests on that day. Among those, 91 tests were first-time positive (newly infected).

That would mean that there were at least 91 confirmed cases internally reported within the Wuhan system on March 14, though Beijing only published 4 on that day and 4 on the next day.

图为武汉市卫健委收到的3月14日全市“新型冠状病毒核酸检测汇总统计表”。数据显示,武汉市单日核酸检测首次阳性数(实际新增确诊)91例,比当天“官方”发表的新增确诊数至少多出22倍。而且,出院病人仍具传染性,居家隔离中可能感染家人。(大纪元)

大纪元新近获得,武汉市卫健委收到的3月14日当天全市“新型冠状病毒核酸检测信息日报”以及各区统计汇总表。武汉市卫健委的核酸检测文件显示,当日全市核酸检验总样本数16,320个;其中,检测样本阳性数373个,而核酸检测首次阳性数有91个。

因此,3月14日所进行的核酸检测,都是之前一天纳入的样本。其中,首次阳性数91个,代表当天新增确诊91例。

而在3月14日至16日,中共发布的官方疫情数据中,武汉市新增确诊病例分别为4例、4例、1例。也就是说,在3月14日起的三天内,中共发布的武汉单日新增病例最多只有4例。
