Media hysteria with little to no facts.
I wouldn't call it hysteria when there are already reports from the inside that other cities in Hubei province are also starting to be quarantined, the CPC has cancelled New Year's celebrations and they are rushing to build new hospitals to accommodate all the infected.
EDIT:

Yes media has a story to tell and they got this.
This virus is out and China is taking all possible measures to counter this. They have lock down around 5 cities and building a 1000 bed hospital that will be completed in 10 days.
Oh you beat me to it. From the news I've seen it was 9 cities and the hospital is being rushed to be build in 6 days. I don't know how they'll do that but it shows how panicked they are. Some people joke it'll be completed that quickly coz it's actually a mass grave.
