That equates to more than 9.7 deaths in 2019. If we average that on a daily basis, more than 26,000 are needed every day.
I wouldn’t try to extrapolate any conclusion based on the news that a mortuary gets a regular supply of urns.
KnoemaIn 2019, death rate for China was 7.3 per 1,000 people. Death rate of China fell gradually from 10.6 per 1,000 people in 1970 to 7.3 per 1,000 people in 2019. Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
