On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is customary to burn incense and offer chrysanthemums to friends and relatives who have died in the previous year. As a result, on New Year’s Eve, the supply of chrysanthemums in Wuhan exceeded the demand, and there were no flowers to buy, and there was a huge traffic jam on the road to the flower market. This scene caused many Chinese “leeks” sigh: last year’s Wuhan Epidemic in the end how many people died ah!
On Weibo, many Wuhan netizens mentioned that on the first day of the new year, Wuhan had to buy chrysanthemums, and at the end of the day, it was a price, how much the seller wanted, how much the buyer gave, white chrysanthemums, yellow chrysanthemums, loose chrysanthemums, were sold out, and many Wuhan netizens said that they did not buy chrysanthemums.
One netizen said, “Why are so many people buying chrysanthemums in Wuhan? He said he had never encountered such a thing himself, so he thought, “How many people died during the severe plague in Wuhan early last year?”
Chinese official media, on the other hand, generally reported that the Wuhan flower market was particularly hot during the New Year this year, with some flower store owners staying awake for 50 hours, busy all the Time, and business was so good, but the report did not name chrysanthemums as sold out.
The official media’s whitewashing has provoked the anger of netizens, with some criticizing on Weibo: “What kind of flowers are you buying? The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of services to the public. The incense, the flowers to buy to no goods, the middle of the night for what do not know? Buy flowers in the middle of the night to decorate, you dare to believe?”
The actual number of confirmed cases in China is still being questioned by the international community due to a lack of official transparency and attempts to silence journalists reporting on the outbreak, and the real number of deaths in Wuhan is a mystery.
After the outbreak early last year, there were rumors that local crematoria were running 24 hours a day. The University of Washington School of Medicine and Ohio State University have previously analyzed the number of urns issued from the Wuhan crematorium, as well as various traces that indicate the true number of deaths in Wuhan is more than 10 times the official figure.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a national sero-epidemiological survey on December 28 last year, showing that nearly 500,000 people in Wuhan are feared to have been infected by the Wuhan pneumonia virus, a figure 10 times higher than the official number of confirmed cases.
