I am probably screwing up in my explanation, but this event does seem like one of Taleb’s “Black Swans” and highlights a point of fragility caused by a totalitarian society. As the situation spins of control (more and more cases) it gets harder to diagnose the cases. Therefore the number of reported cases becomes deceptively few, while the problem itself gets worse. The “optics” are not that bad. But the situation is disastrous.
