How many people have died in China from Covid-19?
Jiqi Liu6y20

The official figure is 3305 deaths according to the government's report. http://www.nhc.gov.cn/xcs/yqfkdt/202003/ec2689b0e716468fbfff7cf890c74bb7.shtml I think the actual figure is more mainly because the undiagnosed people were not listed as COVID-19 patients. But the alleged figure in RFA is too high and makes me think it is just an inaccurate estimation, especially for lacking the reliable source. My impression of this RFA report is that it is propaganda rather than truth.

The situation is extremely sad. I understand the impossibility of giving correct statistics when lacking the method to diagnose and also the water-downed figure due to the pressure from the authority to control the social impact.
