2) That the 'virus suppression' approach is dead in the water.
But if it doesn't explode, that suggests pretty strongly that this thing actually spreads pretty damn slowly, they WERE sitting on it for months (whether they knew about it or not is not for the apolitical thread) and that they've probably acquired just enough herd immunity to prevent another epidemic. That would also likely suggest that the number of unreported cases is exceptionally high and the mortality rate lower than feared.
Oh...and then it could just mean that it's China doing China things and by throwing all foreign journalists out, they've put the clamps on reporting again.
In either event, how China rebounds over the coming weeks can tell us a ton.
