Some numbers for background
Since the released numbers seem to be principally concerned with Wusan, by taking the total population of China (1.43 billion) and dividing it by your flu deaths per year of 250K, I get .0004 percent and, then take that times Wusan pop of 11 million, I get about 1,500 odd flu deaths per year, divide that by 12 and get 128 deaths per month from the average flu in Wusan.
Since this virus has been going on for near 2 months (I think) that would be 256 deaths this year. So anything over that number is the 2019ncov death number for Wusan. And what of the other 63 quarantined cities?
Yeah no one calls out the army, shuts down at least 5% of their economy, uses forced removal to sealed camps for 256 dead.

I find it rather eye opening just how many people can acknowledge that there’s no way the numbers coming out of China aren’t reliable and then go straight to trying to explain the situation based on those same numbers.
That ain’t cognitive dissonance. That’s stupidity.
