[I’d agree... never heard of shuttering multiple cities when only “600” of 18+ million are infected. Me smells a cover up.]
It may be that people who are sick aren’t going to the authorities because they don’t trust the government to treat them with every available resource. Given the party’s disregard for the welfare of the people it rules, that’s not entirely wrong-headed. If you thought showing up at a hospital would lead to you being quarantined in a hospice and left to die without any attempt to keep you alive, let alone cure you, would you go there? Better to stay home and hope it blows over like every flu variant out there. Note that the death rate for flu is only about 2%. In a government-run hospital full of other sick people where you’re treated like diseased livestock being readied for the dog food factory, who knows?
This is standard quarantine sociology. The infected who think the authorities will screw them over stay home. The healthy who think they’re in a death zone will flee by hook or by crook. And it’s completely understandable, given the regime’s reckless disregard for their welfare in the past.
