The New York Times uncritically reported China’s official COVID-19 death rate and said that the country’s strategy has been effective in a Friday article.

“China’s strategy has had both major successes (holding deaths to low levels) and major costs,” the authors wrote, citing data from the Chinese government which claimed the country’s COVID-19 death rate per million was three, compared to 2,000 to 3,000 in the U.S. and EU.
