Please remember that these numbers are cases where the Corona virus was isolated from the patient by lab test thus "confirmed" case.
It is well known that the Chinese health system is overwhelmed and sending many ill patients home so that the number of people with Corona virus INFECTION is likely highly under estimated by the numbers given above.
This is confirmed by the measures taken by the Chinese government in response to the virus outbreak, which is far beyond what one would expect if illness was doing what the numbers were what has been released to the world.
To those thinking of going to this area in the next few days to 120 days, forget it.
This is NOT going to burn out in less than 120 days given the densely packed Chinese population, the lack of treatment for viral pneumonia, the lack of vaccine for Corona virus (never been one for any Corona virus, development will take years despite what you have read), the level of over all health care in China and finally the need for travel to sustain infrastructure for daily life.
China, just like the rest of the world needs "travel" (trucks, trains, planes) bringing in food, medicines and other goods to sustain daily life for the 56 million quarantined people. If the virus causes this travel to cease either by fear or government decree these areas of China will soon become difficult to live in, certainly not tourist meccas
