So humble numbers of people infected outside China, why is the whole world panicking?
It's racism. In the West, Sinophobia is an acceptable form of it.

Growth still looks exponential and attempts at containment seem to have failed.
Then why so small number of people get infected outside of China? I can hardly believe no case of infection could get unnoticed and not isolated successfully so far.

As far as punitive actions against a country, the world is taking a relatively light approach to China especially when one factors in their treatment of the Uyghurs. They have placed an entire ethnic minority into concentration camps for reprogramming. That's racism.

China will likely not be able to contain the virus at this stage. it also could mutate and change it's behavior.
With flu / colds, my understanding is that it's typically milder mutations which end up thriving, as the milder the symptoms, the more likely people are to try to carry on with their normal lives rather than isolating themselves (and thus infect more people).
