A Chinese nurse has spoken out and claimed the deadly coronavirus has already infected at least 90,000 people in the country.
As the nurse, who was wearing a full-body protective suit in her video, alleged, the government is trying to hide the truth that tens of thousands of people in Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, have been infected.
According to the anonymous nurse, the Chinese government reduced the figure to just a few thousand as a part of one of their censorship moves.
“I’m in the area where the coronavirus started. I’m here to tell the truth. At this moment, Hubei province, including Wuhan area, even China, 90,000 people have been infected by coronavirus,” she said.
“I would like to say that everyone who is currently watching this video should not go outside. Don’t party. Do not eat out. Once a year, we celebrate Chinese New Year. If you are safe now, you will be able to meet your family again healthy next year.”
While the Chinese government appeared to have been very transparent about the crisis at its beginnings, the critics are now slamming the authorities and accusing them of censoring the truth and removing videos showing the true extent of the outbreak.
“We don’t care what the government says. I will tell you through social media. Everyone, please donate masks, glasses and clothes to Wuhan,” the nurse in the video that racked up millions of views added.
“Please help us. Please donate disposable goggles, disposable masks and disposable clothing. Currently our resources are not enough.”
