COVID spreading faster than ever in China. 800 million could be infected this winter

"China is now facing what is likely the world's largest COVID surge of the pandemic. China's public health officials say that possibly 800 million people could be infected with the coronavirus over the next few months. And several models predict that a half million people could die, possibly more."

I read all of their speculation and how they got there, but there's no world in which only 500,000 people legitimately die of COVID with a predicted 800,000,000 infections.

500,000 would require mass manipulation of data(likely) or some sort of treatment on a scale that's unknown to the rest of the world.
