I have underlined the pertinent bit. The real number is likely substantially higher just people not tested.
Wuhan crematoria were operating 24/7 a number of weeks ago with nobody counting apart from the state. IF you die and have not been diagnosed then your death is not within either the confirmed cases or deaths.
Abusing Chinese media is a bit rich when UK media does exactly the same in reporting what they are told by the Government.
Testing of arriving travellers could be instigated at LHR (and other airports) but this would send the wrong message so do nothing in case it spooks people seems to be the way.
