It appears to be a very unfortunate typo. It's now been updated to only 150 new deaths.
Meanwhile, despite all the fearmongering I'm seeing on the web -- and perhaps a bit in the financial markets -- China is doing a very good job now in controlling the virus. Here's the latest from The Beijinger blog:
