It's far worse.

This being said, the issue the rest of the world is already beginning to see is supply chain. Just about every fucking object in front of me that I pick up has "made in china" written on it somewhere.

We have a dental clinic and are about to open another one. All the medical warehouses are out of medical masks and we don't have a single case of the virus in our country. Starting to run out of gloves too. I managed to order some online but the price was 2-3x normal. All of this shit is made in china...
