China underreported number of coronavirus cases, Chinese medical adviser says

A second wave of infections is seen as a dangerous possibility in China after five new coronavirus cases were reported on Saturday, including three that were locally transmitted, a report said. No new COVID-19 deaths have been reported in China in more than a month, although some have been announced retroactively after further tests were performed, and 82 people remain in treatment while another 450 are under isolation and monitoring as suspected cases or after testing positive for the virus without showing symptoms.

China has reported a total of 4,634 deaths among 82,954 cases since the virus was first detected in the central industrial city of Wuhan. Those numbers could be seen as undercounted because the country doesn't include people who were tested and found to be asymptomatic. Zhong Nanshan, a senior medical adviser in China, acknowledged the country initially underreported the number of infections in Wuhan -- while describing the potential second wave as a "big challenge," according to Reuters.

Boy if ever “tip of the iceberg” was used for the right scenario, this was it.

I’m guessing hundreds of thousands have died.
