Satellite Images Capture Crowding At China’s Crematoriums Amid Covid Surge

New Delhi: Satellite images taken over a number of Chinese cities have captured crowding at crematoriums and funeral homes, as the country continues its battle with an unprecedented wave of Covid-19 infections following its dismantling of severe pandemic restrictions, the media reported.
The images, taken by Maxar in late December and early January show a funeral home on the outskirts of Beijing, which appears to have constructed a brand-new parking area, as well as lines of vehicles waiting outside of funeral homes in Kunming, Nanjing, Chengdu, Tangshan and Huzhou, CNN reported.
China recently moved away from its strict zero-Covid approach to the virus, which had sparked mass unrest after more than two years of tight controls on citizens’ personal lives.
China’s strict policy shielded its population from the kind of mass deaths seen in Western nations — a contrast is repeatedly driven home by the Communist Party to illustrate the supposed superiority of its restrictions.
CNN has reported first-hand in Beijing on the makeshift facilities being used to store the deceased, as the overworked staff tries to keep up with the volume of crates containing yellow body bags, and families report waiting for days to bury or cremate their loved ones.
Meanwhile, China’s official Covid-19 death toll since it eased restrictions remains strikingly low — with only 37 deaths recorded since December 7, 2022.
As reports of overwhelmed hospitals and funeral homes roll in, China has faced accusations from the WHO and the US that it is under-representing the severity of its current outbreak, with top global health officials urging Beijing to share more data about the explosive spread.
“We continue to ask China for more rapid, regular, reliable data on hospitalizations and deaths, as well as more comprehensive, real-time viral sequencing,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a news briefing in Geneva last week.
“WHO is concerned about the risk to life in China and has reiterated the importance of vaccination, including booster doses, to protect against hospitalization, severe disease, and death,” he said.
Speaking in more detail, WHO executive director for health emergencies Mike Ryan said the numbers released by China “under-represent the true impact of the disease” in terms of hospital and ICU admissions, as well as deaths, CNN reported.
