"I don't think it is necessary to look into the cause of death for every case at present. The key task during the pandemic should be treatment," epidemiologist Liang Wannian, head of a government-appointed expert panel, said during a news conference Wednesday.
Wang Guiqiang, head of the infectious disease department at Peking University First Hospital, suggested at the same news conference China could determine the number of COVID-19 deaths after the fact by looking at the overall excess mortality rate. Under the government's revised methodology, only those who die specifically of respiratory failure caused by the virus are recorded as COVID-19 deaths, meaning many related fatalities go uncounted.with emergencies director Michael Ryan saying the body believed that "the current numbers being published from China under-represent the true impact of the disease."
