Official notification of the number of new crown-related deaths in the country recently

At the press conference on January 14, Jiao Yahui, director of the Department of Medical Affairs of the National Health and Medical Commission, disclosed that through analysis, from December 8, 2022 to January 12, 2023, a total of deaths related to the new coronavirus infection occurred in hospitals across the country. There were 59,938 cases, including 5,503 deaths from respiratory failure caused by new coronavirus infection, and 54,435 deaths from underlying diseases combined with new coronavirus infection. Accounted for 56.5%, more than 90% of the death cases were combined with underlying diseases. “Our monitoring data shows that two weeks after the peak of fever outpatient visits, the number of critically ill patients with new crown positive in the hospital also reached its peak, and then showed a slow downward trend, but the number of critically ill patients in the hospital is still at a high level.” | Related reading (China Fund News)

Even though the number of deaths announced this time is the data released by the Health and Medical Commission, judging from the external reaction, everyone is skeptical about this data. Firstly, it is because the caliber of this statistics is “59,938 deaths related to the new coronavirus infection in hospitals across the country”. That is to say, this data is compiled by the hospital. Will someone die from the new crown before squeezing into the hospital? Especially in rural villages and towns, medical resources are underdeveloped, and many people do not know that they have the new crown, so I estimate that the real number of deaths should be higher. Secondly, it is still a matter of statistical caliber. In many hospitals, even if someone died of myocarditis caused by the new crown, for example, it would not be included in the statistics of the death cases of the new crown.
