My guess is both sides of the aisle are doing their best to cover up the problem in China. If it were released that China had 10-100X or more, greater then the cases they are currently admitting to, it's economy would collapse overnight.

No telling what would happen here in the States since most of our manufacturing base has been gradually moved to China.
