Do you really think that a country with over a billion people would freak out so hard over 600 dead?
The 2% death rate can only be true if the communist party has accurately reported the number of cases and deaths which is highly unlikely.
Currently, everybody has to self-quarantine in Wuhan, even if you get diagnosed you still don't get to stay in a hospital as they are full.
People are being arrested for not wearing face masks, and in some areas, houses are being blocked shut with metal rods and labeled as "infected" with people still inside, that is what they used to do during the black death, all dead bodies are cremated.
Currently, the gov is supplying the bigger supermarkets but as more and more cities go into quarantine doing this will be impossible, the gov says there are around 27k infected, currently, the dr's in hospitals are saying on the Chinese social media that there are 50k new cases every day and growing.
On top of that, a new bird flue has also emerged from Wuhan alongside the coronavirus.
The virus is basically causing a very aggressive type of pneumonia, and if you had one you know how bad that is even if you get all the necessary treatment.
