DISINFO: 112 000 deaths in China due to coronavirus
SUMMARY
The outbreak of the alleged new coronavirus in China is completely out of control and kills thousands of people every day. People die right on the streets and in the subway. At the moment, 2.8 million are infected and 112 000 are dead.
RESPONSE
This is part of the Kremlin's disinformation campaign on the coronavirus. Other examples: The coronavirus is man-made and tailored to Chinese DNA and the recurring theme that The USA is to blame for the coronavirus in China. This information does not correspond to reality and is designed to wreak even greater panic on social media. As of February 16, the total number of coronavirus cases is 51 857 people. Currently, the death toll from coronavirus is 1666 people.
