Summary
“There are clearly things that have happened that we don’t know about.”Facing mounting calls for more information about how many people died of the virus in Hubei province, China found itself in a conundrum in which it faced skepticism for its initial death count and would probably face skepticism for any revisions as well, Blanchette said.“China is in a position where it’s damned if it doesn’t, damned if it does,” Blanchette said.Wuhan, which is in Hubei province, reopened earlier this month, allowing residents to leave the city for the first time in 76 days, as long as they passed health checks confirming that they were not sick nor had they been exposed to the virus.Officials in China are raising alarm over a growing number of cases reported in people who recently entered the country from abroad.
