How badly is China’s economy doing?
It’s the world’s new biggest economy of buyers and sellers

It will be too late then, they will have already been all bought out by preppers.

I'd add a zero or two to those numbers.

While we have evidence that the true number of cases was already 100,000 a week ago and likely much larger now, we have no reliable evidence of a death toll higher than the reported one by any great margin, and only limited evidence for a few hundred additional under-reported deaths. I don't think wild speculation is productive. This virus is serious and dangerous enough to the world population and economy without it.

I've seen the future...
Yep....and those are the "official" numbers.
This is going to be a bumpy year.

@Tiamat Sure--The official numbers increased by about 60 dead yesterday and 70 today -- it's not unreasonable to assume a hundred people are dying a day in Wuhan at this point when you count the cases classed as "pneumonia" and people dying at home. But there's also at least 9 million people in Wuhan, and if a hundred of them die every day, that's still a rounding error.

Well, it’s not really that they lie about it, I think, it’s more that since a lot of cases simply aren’t counted in the total of confirmed cases, then if someone dies of the virus while not officially registered by the government as infected with the Virus, then they’re not counted toward the death tally.
Bureaucratic bloating and Face culture could result in something like this.
I also find it strange, that the youngest death is the whistleblower doctor(Who died 20 days after he started showing symptoms by the way), and who happens to be someone whose death is impossible to cover up.
Quite a few strange point in this situation tbh, but I am waiting yo see how the situation develop for now.

More I think about it, the more plausible those numbers seem. If that "glitch" showed say 9999999 deaths or some other implausible number, then there'd be no debate. But something about the counts in that brief change numbers seems too plausible with the frequent online rumors from the Chinese social networks trickling in.
Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths | Taiwan News | 2020/02/05
Tencent briefly lists 154,023 infections and 24,589 deaths from Wuhan coronavirus.As many experts question the veracity of China's statistics for the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Tencent over the weekend seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and...www.taiwannews.com.tw
Tencent software to the rescue! Someone must have forgotten to buy the daily XP boost and accidentally was shown the not pay-to-win statistics.
For more worst-case guessing, someone linked this screencap from /pol/:
Pretty unnerving...if the method is sound.

Seems like the WHO is more concerned with kissing China's ass, than find a solution to this problem.

Would it be overly cynical to suggest that the PRC regime is "not letting a crisis go to waste" in terms of opportunity to dial up its authoritarian treatment of it's subjects?

Nope not at all, since it is suspicious that a wistleblower just died a few days ago.
