On February 4 NTD Television, a Chinese broadcaster dedicated to uncensored information, sent an undercover investigator to talk with executives from some of Wuhan’s biggest funeral homes to uncover the truth about the coronavirus. After the conversation with one staff member, it became alarmingly clear the official numbers from the Chinese government don’t add up. The comments from the worker indicate the numbers being cremated daily don’t match the government’s figure by a large margin as they are cremating five times as many bodies than usual.

The NTD investigator said: “Tell me about the current workload. “How do you feel? Is it still doable?” The funeral home staff member replied: “We’re under great pressure boss. “To tell you the truth boss, I’m now about to collapse. “The focus is now on hospitals. “We have been forgotten, we now pick up and cremate four to five times as many bodies as usual, every day.” DON'T MISS: Coronavirus could hit TWO BILLION!

Coronavirus SHOCK as Wuhan funeral home staffer reveals REAL death toll of disease

After the conversation with one staff member, it became alarmingly clear the official numbers from the Chinese government don’t add up.

Official numbers from world statistics website Worldometer, formulated with the help of the Chinese government, indicate there have been 43,143 cases of the coronavirus, with the majority being found in China. There have been 1,018 deaths worldwide and an estimated 4,336 people previously infected with the virus have recovered. However, these numbers greatly contradict the claims by the funeral home worker. The worker continued: “Our staff haven’t rested since before the Spring Festival, up until now. “We don’t have enough manpower.”

The crematorium technician then explained their daily workload and the suspicious circumstances regarding the cause of death for those being cremated.
