200 people dying is propably the hourly average of people dying of smog in china.

My theory is that China has been waiting for this to happen as they are propably well aware that they are a hotbed for the next superplague, and they're using this as a test run for when the big one hits. They can try out all their containment plans, show great leadership with Chinese characteristics, and learn what actually is going to work.

Like has to be repeated over and over, the death rate when care is available is pretty high but the real problem is the viral pneumonia. Death rate becomes a lot higher if intensive care can't be provided.

Also, if the death rate is even 1% then that's enough reason to be extremely worried when you have over a billion people.

Wuhan is like the London Ontario of china so yeah why not. Also it’s obviously the rate and not the current number that they are concerned about, just like the rest of us.

Using the SIR epidemiological model, using the 11000 infection number, the predicted removal rate (through death or cure) is 785 per day with a 14 day infectious period.

Which is more than they are reporting.

My countertheory is that they mostly hoped it wouldn't happen again and preparation for such a thing is done so on an individual basis throughout the party. Said preparation is limited to a mental note of at least one other person you can pin this on so you don't get any heat for not being prepared for it. Everything we see now as "the response" is cobbled together from last-minute meetings and half-finished plans from when SARS was a threat.

Annually influenza kills ~500k-700k worldwide.

The last pandemic with similar mortality rate as the corona virus (~3% based on Chinas reported figures) was 1918 Spanish flu.

65 million dead worldwide.

A lot of that depends on how you count a flu death.

The US counts a Flu death if you have some underlying issue and the flu does you in.

China counts a Flu death if that was the only thing wrong with you and you die.

China claims to only have 150 (ish) flu deaths a year.

The US says the following,

quote:

So far, 10,000 people have died and 180,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC

Take that for what you will when it comes to the numbers in China.

these dead towns that make the maps wrong now
So according to https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
And all talk of China's likelihood of publishing false stats aside --

They've added around 1500-2000 per day for the last five days

25: 2.7k
26: 4.4k (+1.7)
27: 6k (+1.6)
28: 7.7k (+1.7)
29: 9.7k (+2)
30: 11.2k (+1.5)

What's the likelihood that those numbers represent the limit of their ability to diagnose new cases per day, and not the actual rate of new infections?

Pretty high, especially since you can be infectious and asymptomatic, and you need a hospital scanner to actually check and see if you have anything that would tell them you are infected before showing outward symptoms.
