Residents of Wuhan, China, even know the government is lying about the death toll from COVID-19, and they’ve figured out as much based on the number of urns funeral homes have been returned to families.
The city has seven large funeral homes, and each has been returning the cremated remains of approximately 500 people to their families every day, and yet, the official government figures put the total death count around 2,500.
#Wuhan residents estimate, based on calculations of cremations and urns now being returned to families, that between 42k-46k (!!) died in city + surrounding areas in the 2.5 months of lockdown. Far more than official figure of 2535 deaths. #COVID19 https://t.co/L1OsFv0VEf— Eileen Guo (@eileenguo) March 29, 2020
Seven funeral homes currently serve Wuhan -- a huge conurbation of three cities: Hankou, Wuchang and Hanyang.
Social media users have been doing some basic math to figure out their daily capacity, while the news website Caixin.com reported that 5,000 urns had been delivered by a supplier to the Hankou Funeral Home in one day alone -- double the official number of deaths.
Some social media posts have estimated that all seven funeral homes in Wuhan are handing out 3,500 urns every day in total.
Funeral homes have informed families that they will try to complete cremations before the traditional grave-tending festival of Qing Ming on April 5, which would indicate a 12-day process beginning on March 23.
Such an estimate would mean that 42,000 urns would be given out during that time. (RFA)
"It can't be right ... because the incinerators have been working round the clock, so how can so few people have died?" one Wuhan resident told RFA last week.
"They started distributing ashes and starting interment ceremonies on Monday," he said.
Other estimates put the figure even higher.
Another popular estimate is based on the cremation capacity of the funeral homes, which run a total of 84 furnaces with a capacity over 24 hours of 1,560 urns city-wide, assuming that one cremation takes one hour.
This calculation results in an estimated 46,800 deaths. (RFA)
During the peak of the epidemic the government brought in cremation workers from across the country to help Wuhan’s crematoriums work around the clock, according to locals.
“Anyone looking at that figure will realize, anyone with any ability to think," one Wuhan resident said of the official figure. "What are they talking about [2,535] people?"
"Seven crematoriums could get through more than that [in a single day]."
RE: Finally, China is economically collapsing. People are canceling all their services.
So, you’re saying the service cancellations are not as a result of deaths, but people refusing to use cellphones?
I find it hard to believe this, given that cell phones are getting to be very necessary for life in China, from buying to identification to surveillance to communication.
RE: Could be the Govt working to shut some individuals up? Also if they are not working how many in China can afford a phone? It’s not a right over there.
The digitization level is very high in China. People can’t survive without a cellphone, Dealing with the government for pensions and social security, buying train tickets, shopping … no matter what people want to do, they are required to use cellphones.
The Chinese regime requires all Chinese to use their cellphones to generate a health code. Only with a green health code are Chinese allowed to move in China now. It’s impossible for a person to cancel his cellphone.
China introduced mandatory facial scans on Dec. 1, 2019, to confirm the identity of the person who registered the phone. As early as Sept. 1, 2010, China required all cellphone users to register phones with their real identification, by which the state can control people’s speech via its large-scale monitoring system.
Furthermore, Chinese people’s bank accounts and social security accounts are bundled with their cellphone plans; apps on Chinese phones check SIM cards against the state’s database to make sure the number belongs to the user.
Beijing first launched cellphone-based health codes on March 10. All people in China must install a cellphone app and register their personal health information. Then the app can generate a QR code, which appears in three colors, to classify the user’s health level. Red means the person has an infectious disease, yellow means the person might have one, and green means the person doesn’t.
Just an example of the NECESSITY of having a cellphone ( AKA Smartphone ).
Thank you for completing the analysis...
There is also the mysterious phenomena in China where 21 million cell phone accounts have disappeared ( cancelled ).
RE: This one makes me wonder how long it takes the dead to cancel their phone service.
Their relatives do it, or, it gets canceled for non-payment.

I am told that it is "unhealthy" for a Chinese citizen to even admit that it happened.
Sadly, there was more sanity aboard the Red Dwarf (for a million years) than there is in American politics today...
Seems low, but could be.
