Now, let's look at a couple numbers. About 59,000,000 people die in China yearly. That's about 2 million people per province, and about 165,000 people per month in each province (if you assumed all provinces had equal populations. This is from all KNOWN causes which the twisted report fails to account for. Because even if you assume 40,000 urns, if Hubei province had 330,000 deaths from known causes, they are still short a few urns.

And, in the city of Wuhan, there are 11,000,000 people and a more accurate measure China wide is the death rate as reported in 1000s.
And in that would be 7.402 right now... a little math would be 11million/1000= 11,000x7.402 = 81,400 deaths per year from known causes in Wuhan alone. Or about 20,000 deaths in the lockdown period (I'm going with 3 months as a simple divider).

Now factor in people who were unable to seek treatment because a) they didn't have CV-19 and they were forced to stay in quarantine, b) their family was afraid of everyone being rounded up, so they didn't report the illness, c) they didn't receive normal treatment, medication, etc that they would have if the preponderance of medical services weren't fighting to save the 2553 from CV-19.

And, as said below. If someone dies from any of these other causes, especially the last one... no one is testing a corpse to see if it had CV-19 after the fact. I believe that whole heartedly.

But, to look at 40,000 urns and think that something sinister has been done to the numbers, eh, I can call it both ways. I think there is more in the fact that like Italy, there were people who were denied treatment, or not given emergency services (like ambulance pick ups), should they be COVID-19 related? Sure. But considered in the total case rate? naw.
