Is Beijing covering up a real death toll of tens of thousands?

YES
[DailyMail] Shocking footage shows Chinese police beating back residents trying to flee epicentre of coronavirus outbreak.

China has been accused of covering up a horrific coronavirus death toll of tens of thousands of people and unleashing a potential wave of new infections by taking the city at the epicentre of the outbreak out of quarantine to help jump-start its national economy.

Communist Party officials are suspected of manipulating statistics to hide a cataclysmic body count in Wuhan in Hubei province in a cynical ploy to allow it to sprint ahead of other major economies by getting back to business as vast swathes of the world remain paralysed by the pandemic.

Nevertheless, there are over 1.428 billion of them and they love air travel.
