So far, China has reported just 5,235 deaths since the start of the pandemic, but Murray suggested the nation’s deaths have been underreported. “China has since the original Wuhan outbreak barely reported any deaths. That is why we looked to Hong Kong to get an idea of the infection fatality rate,” Murray said Friday.
