Though it is not yet known if China is hiding their number of cases, reports have alluded to this. During this pandemic, China and the United States have gone back and forth with several accusations. The intelligence of the United States has concluded that China has kept certain aspects of the coronavirus hidden.

Some officials have even gone as far as to say the numbers of China are fake, but those officials have not provided their names, and the report has remained secret. China has done its own blame game, accusing the United States of purposely not taking care of its citizens during the virus. Only time will tell the true origin of this virus and which country has been providing the truth.

There are a lot of people who seem to think that China is hiding the exact number of people who have died to show that they are not worried about the virus anymore. There are still ongoing researches about the disease. China is trying its best to create a vaccine that can help reverse the disease.

If a vaccine would be formed, this means that people will be able to go out of the streets without worrying anymore that they will become infected by the virus. There are different ways that people are infected. The mortality of Coronavirus is not exactly known at this point, but this is definitely deadlier than typical influenza.

There are some people who are saying that China may be hiding the true extent of the outbreak, probably because they do not want people to know how bad it actually is. Some are saying that even though there are even more outbreaks now, they are trying their best to say that no one is affected anymore.

Some say that the burials for those who are affected by COVID 19 are being done quietly so that the media will not pick up the news. There are some world leaders like President Donald Trump of the United States who say that the real figures are not being disclosed for various reasons.

China denied the American intelligence community's conclusion that Beijing kept hidden the extent of the coronavirus epidemic, and they accused the United States of not taking responsibility for its people during this outbreak. China's first inclination of the virus was in December, where it was discovered in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

The intelligence community sent a report to the White House, which stated that Beijing under-reported both total cases and deaths from the disease. They alluded to the notion that China's public reporting on their cases and deaths was deliberately incomplete. Some officials did not want to be named, who said that Chinas' numbers are fake. However, the report is top secret.
