As to why….what I can’t get away from, is that as u say we ain’t anywhere near normal Flu death rates, though China was well above, so why the reaction and that is where the explanation is.
Why is every government reacting so strongly……the only logical explanation is that it is not natural, but came out of that Biolab 20 miles from Wuhan…I saw one comment that workers there sold animals to the Wuhan wet mkt, for extra cash…or it just escaped…who knows.
We do know such a Virus was created in Canada and that a Chinese scientist worked at the Canadian lab and then moved to Wuhan.
The genetic make up is supposedly impossible odds in the natural world, governments knowing what it really is, would explain their reactions.
