I very strongly suspect that cases and deaths are being
massively under-reported,
not necessarily intentionally, but due to an overwhelmed medical system since an estimated
5 million people left the virus epicenter Wuhan to return home for the Lunar New Year holiday prior to the quarantine of Wuhan. The proverbial cat is
WAY out of the bag due to a delay in reporting the virus. I am truly sad for the people of China if this is correct. I suspect many who, as shown in the video above, are being sealed into their apartment complexes will simply die while infecting others in their families. Many can't even get to a medical facility because
all mass transit has been shut down and they don't own cars. What are the ill supposed to do, walk? At least the eight doctors who were initially jailed for sounding the alarm have been acquitted.

Note how widely spread the virus is in China and how the problem is greater the closer one gets to Wuhan's Hubei province. The start of a holiday travel season was
the very worst possible time for something like this to happen as those 5 million Wuhan residents spread 2019-nCoV everywhere.
Also note that the live video of the rescue hospital at that link shows that it is not fully completed.

Xi Jinping Warns Virus May Impact China’s Social Stability
[THAT gives you an idea of how BAD this really must be in China when a
police state says that - W]

Chinese President Xi Jinping called on all officials to quickly work together to contain a deadly new virus at a rare meeting of top leaders, saying the outcome would directly impact social stability in the country.
The effort to contain the virus directly affects people’s health, China’s economic and social stability, and the country’s process of opening up, he told a meeting of the Communist Party’s powerful Politburo Standing Committee on Monday. Leaders also urged officials “to achieve the targets of economic and social development this year” and “promote stable consumer spending.”
It was the second meeting of China’s senior-most leaders to handle the crisis in recent days, a rare occurrence over the past few decades. The virus has already claimed more than 400 lives in China and sent its equity markets plunging.
“The outbreak is a major test of China’s system and capacity for governance, and we must sum up the experience and draw a lesson from it,” the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing a statement from the meeting.
Xi had been out of public view for nearly a week as his government battles the deadly epidemic amid concerns over its abilities to contain the virus. He made his last public appearance on Jan. 28 when meeting in Beijing with Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, which has declared the coronavirus a “public health emergency of international concern.”
