Population 11 million. 11 million/70 years/365 days = 430 deaths a day expected normally. What percent normally get cremated?
How many bodies did they get a day before the crisis?
You won’t get a straight answer from the PRC.
The next question is how many crematoriums in the area, first thing that came to mind for me is how many industrial burn-off ovens are in the area, I have one used to burn off powder coating racks.
What percent normally get cremated?
Everybody who dies in China is cremated. It is the law. They don’t bury anyone except high officials.
Also, Epoch times is Fal Lung Gong. They sort of have an ax to grind with the PRC government.
There you go thinking logically and posing intelligent questions...
There are 3 crematoriums in Wusan and 4 more in the surrounding countryside. 430/7=61 each per day normally - seem really high because many of those dead are buried which is not allowed now. so the per day burned number each is much less than 61
That is just for the city of Wuhan. It is located in the province of Hubei, which has a population of 57 million. So for the province as a whole, 2231 deaths/day are expected under normal conditions.
I have no idea of Chinese funeral practices, but I can tell you that my little rural Oregon town of 30,000 has one cremation facility. Business is so slow that they also use it for dogs and cats that the local vets send them.
It is not hard to imagine a situation where authorities would require cremation of virus victims as a sanitation measure, but that even a relatively low number of excess deaths would overwhelm capacity.
I do not see a reason to think the world is ending.
Just saw a video that the ‘next level’ globalism will involve the killing off most of humanity because humanity=evil and it’s the green thing to do.
Massive government control, complete economic chaos, suspension of civil liberties, killing off of the old and weak. Sounds like a liberal wet dream.

Because of the coronavirus outbreak, Wuhan’s Civil Affairs Bureau designated the Hankou Funeral Home to deal with the bodies of those who were diagnosed and died of the virus, according to state-run media. In addition, the Wuchang Funeral Home and Qingshan Funeral Home were designated to attend to those who died from severe pneumonia, or who were suspected coronavirus cases and died.
A worker at a Wuhan crematorium said in a Feb. 4 interview that he and his colleagues have worked 24 hours, seven days a week since Jan. 28. He said they are exhausted, and are working without proper equipment such as body bags, protective suits, and face masks.
“Since Jan. 28, 90 percent of our employees are working 24/7 … we couldn’t go back home,” a man identified as Mr. Yun told the Chinese-language Epoch Times in a phone call. He works at the Caidian Funeral Home, one of four facilities in a suburban area of Wuhan.
Bingo.
You are asking the right questions.
Cremation is the normal default in China, so “hundreds” may not be anything more than business as usual.
