given the fact there were 400 to 900, I wouldn't be surprised at any of those videos. have I missed something?

That the likelihood of seeing a minimum of 2% of deaths surface on the internet at once from one of the most secretive regimes out there with a lock on the internet is low. It implies that there were >>>> 400-900 deaths at the time and the 'escape rate' of images/videos was lower (which is more in line with a secretive regime)
I tried to warn my friends and family to prepare and take this seriously by writing:

In it I had a section on why I thought the numbers emerging from Wuhan were not accurate, which read:

On top of this have been the extremely grim videos coming out of China showing bodies piling up. It is not easy for people to get damaging information about China out beyond its ‘Firewall’, so it is my personal view that these videos are the tip of the iceberg.
You will not enjoy clicking on these links, but you can if you want to see some of the reality where there has been outbreaks:

In these videos there are probably a total of 15-25 bodies, and there are a lot more of these videos doing the rounds. As you can see these videos are from between 20 and 25 days ago. At that time there were 400 and 900 registered deaths associated with the disease. It is unlikely beyond the extreme that ~ (20/900) 2.2% of all deaths were being recorded on camera and making it beyond the great firewall. To me this is a big indicator that the real figures are much higher.
