11 million people in Wuhan got quarantined because of a virus that started in a fish market. It only has a 3% mortality rate so far compared to SARS 10%. It causes pneumonia and is most deadly to old people and obese goons. Good luck.

Some simple math. Start with a population of 1,000,000. Let's assume 25% of the population gets infected so we have 250,000 cases. If we assume 25% of the infected require some sort of medical treatment and 3% will die we have 62,500 people needing hospitalization/treatment and 7,500 people die. Of course there are probably a lot more infected then reported cases so if we halve those numbers we're still left with a 9-11 death toll for every million people.

e.I pulled these numbers out of my arse of course so who knows what fish flu will actually end up doing.

The fact the disease has a 10-14 asymptomatic period means they have to quarantine absolutely everyone who's potentially been in contact with the virus. Also by the time a city has confirmed virus it could already have been there and spreading for weeks.

Also I've never seen Contagion but I have seen the one where they want to firebomb the town.

Pretty much although it's probably more of a case of "had a healthy enough respiratory system to not drown in their own lung fluids".

China’s national health minister Ma Xiaowei said the new coronavirus is also infectious during incubation, which is different from Sars.

He said authorities’ knowledge of the new virus was limited and they are unclear on the risks posed by mutations of the virus.

The press conference ended with a promise to live up to “the expectations of the people” and to increase transparency. To that end, they said there would be a press conference every morning.

That explains the massive lockdowns. It's the only possible way to stop the virus.

So any chance that they are being really dumb and drastically under reporting their infection numbers while more accurately reporting the death toll?

They're only reporting deaths of people that were diagnosed with the virus beforehand. They're not testing dead people after the fact for the disease.

So if China decides they got the virus under control and drop the quarantine what's stopping it from doubling back from the rest of the planet and re-infecting them?
