Reading through it made it clear that:

1 - Wuhan's health care system is overwhelmed

2 - There's not enough transportation, test kits, masks, and hospital beds, or volunteers

3 - Many sick people are not even bothering to go to the hospital

4 - There's poor communication and rumors flying around

5 - People are frightened, panicking, and suspecting the worst

This tells me that:

A - there are likely way more people infected than there are confirmed cases, but possibly more deaths too of those who never made it in to hospitals

B - Many wouldn't have died had they had more adequate health care, better transportation and more test kits

So, for the rest of us who are sitting on our hands now, glued to social media or the television waiting to see how this will unfold, our time would be much more productively spent planning for when the outbreak hits our local area.

Volunteer. Get connected with volunteer organizations. Donate. See what you can do to ensure there's adequate transportation, communication and resources when the outbreak hits your area.

One thing I'm really curious about that I haven't heard covered yet is if people who get sick and recover become immune. If so, they should feel safe in volunteering to come in contact with the sick and help them directly after they've recovered themselves.

Cooperation, preparation, organization, and mutual aid are crucial.

Yes the WHO are playing politics when they focus on the good things China is doing and ignore the bad. But personally I think they are closer to the truth than those who present an entirely negative version of events. China's response has been 70% good :)

Not really, they jailed the experts who told them that they needed to act quickly, sat on it for a month, and finally did something about it when it was already out of hand.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you see that info?

I watched the CDC press conference today and saw nothing but fear written on their faces. And that is with far more advanced notice than the Chinese had.
