So whats the big deal? why would china go into lockdown if its not 'that' bad? that should be a huge indicator that its bigger than is let on.

Like many people, you underestimate the sheer stupidity of modern governments.

They're not hiding anything. They're just fucking idiots, who are just as scared and uncertain as you are, but wield considerably more power, and therefore fear losing what they have far more, and so overreact, and end up fucking things up more than the problem they were trying to fix. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

When in doubt, apply Occam's Razor.
