Pay no attention to the published numbers from Chinese authorities.
But DO pay attention to the fact they've isolated nearly 20 million people from the rest of the world.
China is not a country prone to emotional overreaction. And the passions of crowds have little or no influence on official acts.
This tells the world the problem is far more serious than official government reports indicate.

I am very interested to see if this will actually work as prep for when something really deadly comes up.

For all the coverage, I just caught the actual population of Wuhan today. Just imagine NYC, and then some, quarantined. Unbelievable.

Sort of funny how China how these mega cities nobody knows about. I never heard of Wuhan until the SHTF.

Someone needs to file a suit and have a Democrat Judge overturn China’s decision.

+/-10% death rate might just be enough to tip China into chaos but not civil war; and Xi would probably rather have the latter cuz he sure do seem to loathe him some chaos.

Based on the stories that keep coming out that maps needs to be updated hourly.

You know you’re in trouble when cops in sterile protection won’t let you leave.

If the US has a case or two then most likely many other nations do too but haven’t detected any yet.

It’s well known that the official Chinese/WHO numbers are bogus.
584, yeah right.
And it’s also likely more virulent than reported as well.
Why else would China wall off 20 million people and dress all official persons in hazmat suits?
Their behavior looks more like Ebola.
Nevertheless, the most circumspect country in the world is scared.
