  It's likely missing thousands of people who happened to have Covid that died, which  China is attributing to other causes, like shortness of breath. >
  
  Thousands are too conservative. Right now in Shanghai, the government requisitions storage facilities for tuna and salmon to store the  bodies. Even ocean freight containers are used for this purpose. >

  It's surely not millions, it took US over a year to hit 1 million, China even at abysmal COVID rates would be the same order of magnitude as america in maybe winter of 2020. Ballpark 10,000 deaths. >
  
  Even if you take repeated infection into consideration. With 80% infection rate in major urban centers we are looking at over a million. A good reference is Hong Kong—7-8m population and Within 2 months > 10000 died. China death will be in the 7 figures conservatively speaking.
