Estimates Show Wuhan Death Toll Far Higher Than Official Figure
The key to these estimations is that the crematoriums in Wuhan are running non-stop and have a backlog... if they are running nonstop, then the crematorium notices to family would indicate as many as 46,800 dead in Wuhan.
most local estimates by citizens put the death toll in Wuhan at at least 40,000.
China claims only 2,500 deaths happened in Wuhan.
There is video out of Taiwan of a woman in Wuhan claiming that she could see one of the makeshift hospitals in Wuhan from her home, and the government workers were burning patients who were still alive:

"Funeral homes have informed families that they will try to complete cremations before the traditional grave-tending festival of Qing Ming on April 5, which would indicate a 12-day process beginning on March 23.
Such an estimate would mean that 42,000 urns would be given out during that time.
Various calculations
Another popular estimate is based on the cremation capacity of the funeral homes, which run a total of 84 furnaces with a capacity over 24 hours of 1,560 urns city-wide, assuming that one cremation takes one hour.
This calculation results in an estimated 46,800 deaths."
