The new study in China reveals Wuhan's big lie about COVID-19

Nearly half a million residents in the Chinese city where the Coronavirus first appeared may have been infected with COVID-19, almost 10 times the official number of confirmed cases, according to a study by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reports Cn.

The study used a sample of 34,000 people in the general population in Wuhan íhan é the original erare of pandemic é and other cities in the Hubei province, as well as Beijing, Shanghai and the provinces of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Liaoning, on estimate the levels of COVID-19 infection.

Researchers found a scale of 4.3% antibodies for COVID-19 among residents in Wuhan, an 11 million - human metropolis.

Since Sunday, Yehan had reported a total of 50,354 confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission.

The study was intended to assess the extent of past infections in a population by testing blood serum samples from a group of people for coronary antibodies.

Its findings are not taken as the ultimate statistics of how many people in a particular area have been exposed to the virus.

Chinese CDC said the study was conducted a month after China “contained the first wave of the COVID-19” epidemic. The prevalence outside Wuhan is markedly lower, the study showed. In other towns in Hubei, only 0.44% of residents surveyed were found to have coronavirus antibodies.

Outside the province, antibodies were discovered in only two persons among more than 12,000 people surveyed.
