The death toll for Covid-19 in Nembro, Italy

China has a history of embellishing and fabricating all sorts of published economic numbers. The number of funeral urns being collected is raising questions about the true toll (https://time.com/5811222/wuhan-coronavirus-death-toll/). Democratic countries can skew their ICU or death statistics, but only so far.

There is one possible explanation: China annual death rate is around 7.3 per 1000. In a city with 11 millions people (wuhan), there would be 6600 death per month without COVID 19.

Iirc, trump has censorship powers under the emergency act. If he really wants business to reopen after Easter, I hope journalists are going to be ready for some fact checking

By "censorship", do you mean no numbers or fake numbers?
