I completely agree. The Chinese, though, must KNOW it’s potential to be reacting so vigorously. I believe it is bad enough as is. But I have a bad feeling it’s worse. a reply to: DaRAGE
With 23 Million on lockdown, it's way worse then they tell us,

More like 60-100 million now. Plans to seal off Beijing.

I think what happens in Shanghai is going to be a good barometer of how much to worry. As the economic centre for trade and finance locking that place down would be a huge hit for them, and something they wouldn't do unless things were bad IMHO.
It is first time for China since 1949 to shut down the outbound channels of such a large provincial capital. Wuhan is also known as a thoroughfare to nine provinces and the largest transportation hub in Central China. Therefore, it is undoubtedly difficult to make the decision to close the city down. It needs much courage and rationality to take this step.
As a media organization, we want to pay tribute to the city of Wuhan and its over 10 million citizens. We also believe that the entire Chinese nation will pay tribute to Wuhan citizens who think of the big picture at this critical moment.
The Chinese people will be with the citizens of Wuhan. Only when China wins the battle of defending Wuhan can there be a national victory of fighting against the new pneumonia. Chinese society will pay close attention to the progress of Wuhan's epidemic control.

While I agree as a rule of thumb, if the WHO is in there then the count is probably pretty accurate.
On 11 and 12 January 2020, WHO received further detailed information from the National Health Commission about the outbreak.
WHO is reassured of the quality of the ongoing investigations and the response measures implemented in Wuhan, and the commitment to share information regularly.

WeChat just went crazy with rumors that Shenzhen will quarantine within 24 hours.
