Lots of stories about the doctor who died but none of them seem even remotely curious about a 33-year old man dying to the flu. Seems like there should be mention of a pre-existing illness of some sort otherwise somebody hasn't been honest about how deadly the virus is.
As I have said before, all Chinese are compromised due to their air quality alone. At 33 the dudes lungs were probably the same as a 50 year old american smoker.
This is why we won't know anything about this virus until people who haven't spent the majority of their lives in China start dropping dead.
As mentioned by others those numbers provided by the CCP can not be real.
All their efforts just raise more questions. And I can't believe western governments take it so easy. Like nothing to see their . . .
With infections doubling every four days and more than 600 deaths, China intensified its response in Wuhan, with house-to-house temperature checks and mass confinements at quarantine centers.

I still hear people saying think of the flu. China would not go on lock down if this stuff wasn't much more dangerous then the seasonal flu . . . They have so much to lose from this. This means not acting like this seems to be the worse option for the CCP . . .
I explained why the CCP has done what they have done a few pages back.
TLDR
-virus takes ~2-5 weeks to clear
- virus puts about 20% of people in the hospital
- Virus has ~2% death rate, >15% if you are hospitalized
- CCP realized early on they didn't have enough hospital beds or ICUs so they shut everything down in order to keep the tragedy in Wuhan from happening all over.
- Wuhan is an example of what happens when you run out of hospital beds. A 2% death rate virus kills WAY more people because they cannot get care.
- The problem with this virus is not death rate it is hospitalization rate
- Other countries are going to try and slow the virus as much as possible to keep hospitals from getting overwhelmed. They also hope to stall the virus until the summer so that heat will help limit its spread (wont last as long on surfaces).
- Respiratory desease is worse for the Chinese because of how horrible their air quality is. It effects men more than women because there are twice as many men in china as there are women and ~60% of men smoke in china (only 1.4% of women smoke).
This should be really easy to understand and completely explains the CCP's reaction without tin foil hat "This virus kills >50% of people" bullshit.
