What China is doing in Wohan is insane, even for China. The only way it makes sense is if they are looking at numbers several magnitudes higher than we are (e.g if you are looking at Black Death/Spanish flue numbers, not less than normal flue numbers), which would indicate that the Chinese government is lying.
Cases in Italy are exploding and the US are only testing people who are showing up with symptoms who have recently traveled from Wuhan (ie not China in general, not Vietnam, not Hong Kong), despite good evidence that the decease can travel from human to human (which does not quite mean it is aerosolized) so we simply do not know how bad the US is doing at the moment.
Supply lines are already under pressure. In some places in China vehicular traffic is less than 5% of what it normally is.
I don't think the world is ending, and this is not going to be another Black Death or even a Spanish Flu (we have much better tech, world citizes are not filled with rats and all sources indicates that this Flu is mostly bad for the old and the inferm, unlike 1920) but I expect this one to be really bad.
