Sichuan Province, located in southwest China, is one of the largest and most inaccessible provinces in the nation. This province covers an area of 485,000 kilometers (187,000 miles) and boasts the largest population in China, with 87 million people.

They may need that many professionals to cover this kind of an outbreak considering the layout and population.

I believe it is much worse than we're hearing. China is such a closed society that if they are sending out 50,000, and are admitting to that number, we could be in for a real shocker when the numbers start to come out.

Remember Chernobyl? The Soviets kept saying it wasn't bad...till the numbers had grown so large, they could no longer keep their secret.

Plus, you've got Kazahkstan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, North Korea (they say they stopped it - (right), India, southern Russia, Mongolia, and more.

Administering shots to 87 million is not a trivial task. Each worker must treat 1740 people, and the people are spread out over an area. But do they have 87 million doses so easily?
