Senior WHO Official Says China Is "Under-Representing" COVID-19 Deaths
Authored by Mimi Nguyen Ly via The Epoch Times,

A senior World Health Organization ( WHO) official said that the Chinese regime has been under-reporting deaths and hospitalizations from COVID-19 in the country.

“We believe that the current numbers being published from China under-represent the true impact of the disease in terms of hospital admissions, in terms of ICU admissions, particularly in terms of death,” Mike Ryan, the WHO’s emergencies director, told reporters at a media briefing on Jan. 4.

“And we would like to see more data on a more geographic basis across China.”





In late December, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) narrowed its definition for classifying deaths as attributable to COVID-19 by counting only those involving pneumonia or respiratory failure sparked by COVID-19, surprising some world health experts.

The CCP has been reporting daily COVID-19 deaths in single-digit figures.

“We still do not have complete data,” Ryan said.

Ryan said that the WHO deems the Chinese regime’s definition for deaths attributable to COVID-19 as “very narrow.” He urged for a broader definition to get a fuller picture of the impact from COVID-19 in China.

The WHO’s guidance ( pdf) stipulates that deaths should be attributed to COVID-19 if they result from a “clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma).”

The guidance also states that deaths from COVID-19 “may not be attributed to another disease” such as cancer, and should be counted as a COVID-19 death, even if there is a suspicion that a preexisting medical condition may have triggered a severe course of COVID-19.
