China is not a reliable source of information. South Korea and Italy are much better barometers for assessing the effects of this novel coronavirus.
Okay, so China is lying about their death totals. They also say that the virus is on a downturn in their nasty, unclean, country full of coughing people who absolutely culturally don't even know how to cover their mouths when coughing.
Let's say it's 10,000 dead in China in about a month. That's still far, far, far below the total number of deaths in any given month, at flu season, during any given year in the United States from the common flu.
Also, Italy as has been mentioned is chock-full of elderly individuals. Have you ever been to Italy? It's more akin to the Middle East in terms of medical care than it is to Anglo-Saxon modeled nations.
Outside of Rome, Naples, Bologna, Milan, and Genoa they do good to provide hospitals and doctors as good as you would find in Ensley, Alabama.

I’d say they’re lying about this, too. They have 1.4 billion people. It would be ridiculous to speculate that even an authoritarian government could control this highly contagious virus.

Stop beating the flu drum. This is a coronavirus, and a new one, at that. It’s absolutely silly to speculate on its end characteristics. We have to operate on what we definitely know about it: It’s extremely contagious; it’s deadly dangerous for a significant portion of the population; and, a vaccine cannot be made for a coronavirus.

Most importantly, it’s an open society. We can believe the numbers they’re reporting.

Likely far more than that. Same with Iran. They have no reason to provide honest and accurate counts and every reason to downplay them.

They have a flawed, modern health care system, just like we do.
Problem right now is capacity, a problem we also face.
