After insisting that their coronavirus death toll numbers had flattened out, Wuhan officials suddenly upped the numbers by about 50%, from 1,290 to 3,869.
Total cases they saw in the city were raised too, from 325 to a whopping 50,333. Chinese state media said the reasons for the earlier low numbers ranged from “mistaken reporting” to health facilities being too “overwhelmed” to make an accurate count.
