China's COVID-19 data is not giving an accurate picture of the situation there and under-represents the number of hospitalisations and deaths from the disease, a senior official at the World Health Organization says.

abc.net.au/news/who-says-china-data-under-represents-covid-surge-and-deaths/101828062China's COVID-19 data is not giving an accurate picture of the situation there and under-represented the number of hospitalisations and deaths from the disease, a senior official at the World Health Organization said.

On Tuesday, China's top scientists presented data to a WHO technical advisory group showing no new coronavirus variant had been found in the country of 1.4 billion people.Beijing abruptly reversed its "zero COVID" policy last month. It underscored worries about the accuracy and availability of Beijing's data, hampering the fight against the disease that has killed more than 6.7 million people globally and roiled economies.

"We believe the current numbers being published from China under-represent the true impact of the disease in terms of hospital admissions, in terms of ICU admissions, particularly in terms of death," said Mike Ryan, WHO's emergencies director.

WHO actually stating what anyone with half a brain already knows…. the Chinese are misrepresenting their figures… of course they bloody are. This whole mess started with a cover up end 2019. Chinese New Year beckons and they need a selfie somewhere special without smog..

Well it doesn’t surprise me they send everybody abroad again one bit 🤷🏻

Since everybody's data under-represents infections and deaths, including very much our own, and since no one gives a crap anymore, there is no logical reason, other than politics,why anyone would care about China's.

No shit Sherlock

WHO warns its own data under-represents COVID vaccine adverse reaction surge and deaths! LOL

When you have a population of 1.4 billion, 20 million just sort of doesn't matter

Of course, they always lie.

It’s so good that Labor isn’t making people from China quarantine in the camps they demanded and built. We must let covid and new variants spread to ensure we can lock down society again and mandate vaccines. People must obey or get severely punished and freedoms taken.

Never forget that Tedros belonged to a far left, ethno nationalist group, but that’s swept under the rug.

New strain ... CM2 .. Mark my words .. the Australian Government know matter how much they what china's luv.. if the international border is not shut again.. as the back door will fly.. expect death here to rise .

WHO is another USA puppet.

Alright, I'll bite... who does?

feeding the chooks again.

CM2... what is that strain all about ..and more to the point .. albo says .. nothing !

More proof lockdowns don't work. Seems to be a good idea to get some natural immunity happening before a virus evolves into a R11 transmittable virus. Atleast with such a high infection rate new variants will be low as the virus has no need to mutate as it rapidly spreads.

But their data on lockdowns was 100% legit, so much so that we trusted it enough to implement this most extreme policy without debate and turned ourselves into China for 2.5 years.

CM2 ... what is that all about Until that is sorted by the scientists around the world 🌎.. the international borders across the world need to shut and no one goes anywhere. The back door 🚪 ...

sure australia's numbers are most reliable and accurate🙄

Who cares? The prevalence is probably just the same as everywhere on the planet. They lied the whole time anyway.

Keep that fear train rolling.

And still Xi calls Australia out for expecting testing to be done on tourists. Does he want us to suffer the same fate as his people ? Probably, weaken 'the enemy'.

Why should WHO say it? Is it not known to the world that china has been hiding every information related to covid right from its origin? I wonder what sinovac contained, could have been just plain water…. You never know!

More Australians are sick and dying from being fat than from covid. Let's talk about that instead

Being fat is a lot worse than covid. Yet nothing from the government about losing weight. Wake up people

F**king CCP, imagine how better the world would be if the CCP responsibly stopped all people leaving China if they were covid positive from the start?

Don't talk about Africa and their complete lack of c0vid.

The international borders should be shut to China..come hell or high water .. they are totally untrustworthy.. look at 2020 with their lies .watch , listen, learn . Reports also 15000dead in a meat factory.

All part of the covid business plan. Ask Jane Halton.

Lockdown albo before thousands of Australians die. Or the plan is to kill Australians. Blood on your hands albo fudd

When even a simple test is just too much for international capitalism to bear 🙄 Well I’d be surprised if he didn’t think that We should have stringent requirements and they should apply to all This is going to be awful Hasn't been a rational decision in years why start now.
