assume they knew it. u think they kept it hidden to report some few weeks later so the world can enjoy a graph with a sudden spike? it doesnt make sense. does it?
so the most sensible answer is no. they were busy trying to contain the spread, building hospitals and treating patients they missed to report those who died in homes. u cant expect hospitals to test dead bodies for infections when there are thousands of people waiting to get tested.
They can hide it and choose not to report those then there won't be sudden spikes. It make sense and i can expect that from a country where journalists disappears
Other countries did count with much more number of deaths and infections. If they have not tested those deaths at that time how come they suddenly test now and conclude those are covid19 tests. Their only excuse is they have not added up those numbers or miss them.
They can use same excuse even in weeks by telling there are another 1000 deaths or there were another 100000 infections we have missed. Then someone questioned they could give your answer always
