I'm not sure what I think about this though, I think it might be extra fear mongering.
Actually, I think it isn't fishy at all. Simply because my state (New York) just announced the other day like over 3,000 previously unreported deaths. Because it was deaths from people who were not tested, and they tested them post-mortem and they tested positive. So it is possible that is what happened in China, they got overwhelmed, had a bunch of people die and they didn't have the time or ability to test. And now they have time to deal because things are calming down.

My state, and a couple near me have all banded together and have extended stay-at-home order till May 15th.
