Behind all the drastic measures taken in China, Italy and elsewhere is not concern about the three percent of those infected dying of the disease but how the virus will affect world economy. I can almost hear the hectic rush in medical companies desperately trying to develop a vaccine against the virus - not primarily to protect people and human life but to make astronomical profits.
