Stacks of urns in China's Wuhan prompt new questions of coronavirus toll

WUHAN (BLOOMBERG) - The long lines and stacks of ash urns greeting family members of the dead at funeral homes in Wuhan city are spurring questions about the true scale of coronavirus casualties at the epicentre of the outbreak, renewing pressure on a Chinese government struggling to control its containment narrative.

The families of those who succumbed to the virus in the central Chinese city, where the disease first emerged in December, were allowed to pick up their cremated ashes at eight local funeral homes starting this week. As they did, photos circulated on Chinese social media of thousands of urns being ferried in.

Re: "I would be ya that some of the countries with "less reported" infections are hauling bodies out of town and burying em in ditches without counting em or caring."Quite right.

China, this week, began allowing relatives to pick up urns with their loved ones' ashes. At one morgue, trucks were used to deliver 2,500 urns which were then stacked up outside. Inside, there were another 3,500.

The thing is, China claims just 3,300 Wuhan virus deaths in total. There were 6,000 urns at this one location.
