The scary part is that of the official 8,200 or so people that have been confirmed to have the virus there's been 171 deaths, and 143 recoveries. So more people dead than recovered, does make one wonder about the 8,200.

Seems few believe the official numbers, people visit numerous hospitals without being able to seen, and even those that get seen have problems getting tested, and people who posts about the situation get the post pulled or pressured to pulled themselves.

Here's an article describing the censorship (pulled posts), arrests for "rumor mongering", difficulty in getting tested, etc:

This one documents 15% of 41 people getting hospitalized dying:
