Why didn't more people die in China?

  Because Wuhan started welding people's doors shut as soon as they passed 400 new known cases in a single day. That kind of behaviour is not acceptable in the West (nor should it be, anywhere), but we still probably need to be taking this virus a bit more seriously than we are.

    I think these claims of "this is not acceptable in the West" are absurd and one of the causes of the current catastrophe. All you need is to pass a law and enforce it with police and military, it's not hard. Since there is a good reason for the law, there won't be widespread resistance, and in fact on balance citizen are likely to help enforcement rather than hinder it.
