BEIJING, Dec 22 (Reuters) - More than 5,000 people are probably dying each day from COVID-19 in China, health data firm Airfinity estimated, offering a dramatic contrast to official data from Beijing on the country's current outbreak.

The UK-based firm said it had used modelling based on regional Chinese data to produce figures that also put current daily infections in the country at above a million.

Its estimates were "in stark contrast to the official data which is reporting 1,800 cases and only seven official deaths over the past week," it said in a statement.

As Colonel Potter would say, “Horse Hockey!”

All the while brewing up new variants in their slums, fish markets, poultry markets and shut-in homes.

So, remember the first time around they were guessing chicom covid deaths by the smoke coming from the crematoriums and the number of urns the chicom potters were making? Scientifik doncha know?

Reuters

Airfinity said its mortality risk analysis suggested between 1.3 to 2.1 million people could die in China’s current COVID outbreak.

Analyses by other modelling groups have also predicted as many as 2.1 million deaths.

Airfinity estimates the wave could have two peaks at 3.7 million a day in mid-January in regions where cases are currently rising and 4.2 million a day in March in other provinces.

Cases were currently rising fastest in Beijing and the southern province of Guangdong, said the firm.

According to its website, in 2020 it built “the world’s first dedicated COVID-19 health analytics and intelligence platform which is now the trusted source of decision makers and media globally.”

This week, a leading Chinese medical expert said only deaths caused by pneumonia and respiratory failure after contracting COVID will be classified as having been caused by the coronavirus.

Airfinity’s Head of Vaccines and Epidemiology, Dr Louise Blair said this change was “different to other countries that record deaths within a time frame of a positive test (and)... could downplay the extent of deaths seen in China.”

AGREE. China shows 6500-7000 TOTAL COVID DEATHS since 2020 on World Meters. So we are to believe NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN 5,000 deaths per day. BS

How many people die a day in Red China total?

Figure a population of 1.2 billion. About 1.1% have to die each year for rough population stability, and they are aging, so it is more.

.011 x 1,200,000,000 = 13.2 million a year, divided by 365 = about 36,000 people a day normally die in China.

--- "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/airfinity --- Interesting."

What is also interesting is that whois.com tells that the company was registered 2013, and its registrant information is "privacy hidden" by a company in Tempe, Arizona.

While Reuters is busy with "might" and "probably" and "modeling," what is certain is that this modeling is aimed at being sold online to other news agencies. I write "other" because ---

The CEO of this online entity according to the website's own information "Rasmus Bech Hansen" (CEO) and "is a board member of the newspaper group, Information.dk. Rasmus holds a B.Sc. in Political Science, a MPA Master of Public Administration) from Harvard University and is a recipient of the Crown Prince Frederic award for excellent scholarship."

If their modeling is not based on Chinese-supplied data, good or bad, it is based on fictional data. "Estimates" are not data. Even Gates-Sponsored IMHE has paused their regularly incorrect "projections" and Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center disagrees with this "privacy" hidden GoDaddy website.

As to the London address, it is a British version of the old post boxes in UPS stores, this address in London "housing" and astounding 553 companies. Odd? Not for a scam.

Interestingly, going through the list of the 553 companies, Airfinity does not appear in the list.

Here is more information on this "global" COVID expert company, as one looks into the address they claim at this "virtual office space."

Some global company, eh? GoDaddy and privacy protected in Arizona, claiming a London address which is just "virtual." Scam is written all over this "science" company.

It is interesting that Reuters seeks comment from China, but doesn't look into 71-75 Shelton Street, London.

This is NOT necessarily an indication of a scam. Many organizations and companies use front addresses for security and to protect privacy. US Asylum Office address, for example, is merely a mail point, with actual location hundreds of miles away in a different state.

[factmart]

1.4 billion people and 5000 perday die from Covid. BIG DEAL. Believe me more have died from the jab. And of no one dies from flu anymore, right? Anyone who gets the jab is crazy.

I am not sure to which asylum office you refer, as my search engine shows many addresses for subsidiary offices. Locations, locations, locations. Not linked virtual offices. As example: http://myattorneyusa.com/list-of-uscis-asylum-offices

But as to Airfinity and its new announcement of a Denmark address, it turn out that too is a "virtual office," as can be checked.

But.... Nørregade 7B denmark. You might be surprised how many virtual companies, 67 by my count, use this "historic" address. Sustainable cruising and Tibetan Buddhism more....

Nothing new as this has been going on for 4000 years of human history. China as been the origin most plagues and epidemics in human history.
