Since the #CoronavirusOutbreak began, @EpochTimes has received numerous internal documents showing that the official reports do not match the actual events on the ground in #China. (Thread👇)

In the most recent case, confidential internal documents have shown that in the coastal province of #Shandong, authorities were purposefully under-reporting the number of diagnostic kit test results that turned up positive for #COVID19. theepochtimes.com/chinese-author…
Eyewitnesses in #HubeiProvince, where the #CoronavirusOutbreak is most severe, said many were unable to be diagnosed and treated at hospitals due to over-capacity.
It appears local authorities have been required to destroy data they compiled relating to the virus outbreak.

The document was sent from the Chaoyang city health commission to its provincial counterpart, the Liaoning health commission.

Another document, published by @EpochTimes on February 27, shows how authorities prioritized how to “control the society” and “manipulate public opinion” to view #China’s efforts to contain the #Coronavirus positively. theepochtimes.com/chinas-interna…
Despite the lack of supplies amid restrictive #Lockdown measures, resources were used to “monitor closely” people most likely to dissent against the authorities and “punish heavily the people who spread improper speech or rumors related to the epidemic,” according to the report.
“Overall, people have strong negative emotions, such as grief, panic, anxiety, and suspicion,” the report said.
“Because the epidemic is getting worse and worse, the control methods must be upgraded.”

In a February 26 report, @EpochTimes revealed the #CoronavirusOutbreak in #China’s Shandong Province is much worse than what has been officially reported.

On Feb. 25, the #Shandong government stated that there were a total of 755 infections in the province.
But the internal document showed that 1,992 people had tested positive for the virus via nucleic acid testing as of Feb. 23. epochtimes.com/b5/20/2/24/n11…

Previously, @EpochTimes interviewed workers at funeral homes in #Wuhan who said they had to work around the clock to keep up with the dramatic increase in workload. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-fune…
Additionally, a group of US researchers published a study, not yet peer-reviewed, in which they suggested cumulative infections and deaths in #China could be “substantially higher” than officially stated—by a factor of 5 to 10. theepochtimes.com/coronavirus-ou…
A February 24 report showed authorities in a city in #Shandong Province implemented strict measures to compel prison staff into keeping quiet about a #CoronavirusOutbreak within local prisons, according to internal government documents. theepochtimes.com/coronavirus-br…
The document was prepared on Feb. 16 by the Shizhong district police department about the #Quarantine of prison guards. i.epochtimes.com/assets/uploads…
Prison guards under #Quarantine are required to dress in ordinary clothes, to avoid “the leaking of any photos or videos [of guards] which may damage the image of the people’s police,” according to the document.
In #China, prison guards dress in the same uniform as police.

In addition, all #Quarantined staff must sign a letter of commitment, in which they promise to keep silent about the #CoronavirusOutbreak and only tell others what local government has already announced publicly. epochtimes.com/gb/20/2/23/n11…
A Feb. 18 report detailed the #HubeiProvince #Propaganda department's efforts to ramp up #Censorship measures by engaging over 1,600 censors to scrub the internet of “sensitive” info relating to the #CoronavirusOutbreak. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-chin…
According to the document, over 1,600 trolls were hired, known as the 50-cent army in #China, to regulate internet speech continuously, 24/7.
The trolls had identified as many as 606,800 posts online with “sensitive or harmful information,” it said.
