China Conceals Surge in Covid Deaths as Citizens Uncover Alarming Cremation Data

Chinese officials have reportedly deleted Covid mortality data after a surge in deaths was discovered in the wealthy Zhejiang province following the relaxation of strict Covid lockdown rules. Cremations in the province increased by 73% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the previous year. The number of deaths recorded, 171,000, was significantly higher than in the same period in 2022 and 2021. This revelation adds to the accusations that China has been suppressing information and underrepresenting the true number of Covid deaths.

Tory Partygate Video Exposes Lockdown Breach and Apology

A video obtained by the Mirror shows Conservative Party staffers drinking, dancing, and joking about bending lockdown rules at a Christmas party in December 2020. The party was held at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London and attended by at least 24 people, including two from Boris Johnson’s resignation honors list. The Conservative Party has acknowledged the “unauthorized social gathering” and taken disciplinary action against four staff members. The revelation comes just days after Johnson was found to have misled parliament in the “Partygate” scandal.

Boris Johnson Referred to Police for Alleged Covid Rule Breach at Chequers.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being investigated by police for allegedly breaking COVID-19 lockdown rules at his official country manor and Downing Street during June 2020 and May 2021. The Cabinet Office reportedly handed over Johnson’s official diary entries, showing visits by friends to the estate during the pandemic at a time when there were strict bans on visits between non-family members. The new allegations could delay the verdict in the inquiry over whether Johnson knowingly misled parliament, which lawmakers have been investigating for almost a year. Johnson has already been fined once for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules.
