This is a world-wide issue and requires a broader perspective. Please take a look at this site. The first video focuses on how China is lying to the World Health Organization, and what it means to all of us.

I believe China is trying to make this disease seem worse than it is because it allows them to lock up whomever they want, disappear them and claim they died of corona.
China wants to purge its society of protesters and other undesirables, other countries don’t have comparable medical systems. There was cell phone data of a Chinese waiting room wherein bodybags lying on dirty linen were placed across the chairs of the waiting room. THese patients had supposedly died of Corona - if China wanted to stop the spread of Coronavirus in that region, they wouldn’t spread contamination so willingly. Mind you, China will treat their elites differently; you won’t see bodies on waiting room chairs in elite hospitals.
Best to use data that Trump’s coronavirus task force collects, and the medical analysis of his experts (they know China lies). Here’s the White House Coronavirus updates page for anyone interested (you can sign up for update emails)

What causes entire species to get wiped off the face of the earth?
Lies.
We’ve had plenty of opportunities to learn this lesson, and we have not.
We’ll find out soon enough.
