I've seen conspiracy theories that the death toll is much worse than is being reported. They showed figures when this thing first started and according to official chi-com numbers, the death rate was around 3.1%. Then as things spread and it got worse, the death toll was lowered to about 2.1% and has stayed there since.
They then linked to other outbreaks of other diseases and showed how the death toll percentage climbed as they figured out what was going on, then finally started to fall as they got control or seasons changed. This one doesn't fit the mold.
I don't know enough to have an actual opinion on this, but it wouldn't surprise me if China was hiding something big. Didn't the spanish flu start in china, but they kept it under wraps at first until it became the spanish flu that killed so many people.
