WUHAN - Zhang took his elderly father to a Wuhan hospital for a surgical procedure in January, just as coronavirus was consuming the central Chinese city. Within days, his father was dead of the contagion.

Their stories, some poured out in emotional accounts online, are emerging as suspicions grow that China's Communist Party government - already accused of bungling its initial virus response and concealing the outbreak's scale - continues to intentionally underestimate the number of deaths and infections.

He was transferred to a quarantine ward, dying hours later. Official cause of death: Covid-19, the pneumonia-like illness caused by coronavirus. The central government says its aggressive measures helped slow the virus, but there is bitterness in Wuhan, where most of China's deaths occurred.
