I've heard from a Chinese person their government is hiding the real numbers of dead and sick. They also told me to stay away from Chinese new year celebrations as there's bound to be some travelers there.
Not sure what is the truth, but wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese government did something like this...

That certainly was true when SARS broke out in 2002.

I believe this time round that the China government has actually been praised for declaring an alert and notifying the WHO as soon as they discovered the problem less than a month ago.

As for actual numbers, who actually know until the situation is properly quantified - those spreading the rumours have no idea how big China is, and the small the world is these days!

A tourist in intensive care and in isolation for a month supposedly suffering from the coronavirus in Thailand has just been found to have the flu!

Does this kind of action suggest a government attempting a cover-up?

Only in China would it be possible to lock down a city of 14m (yes, 14 million) people (during their most important festive period) to stop the spread of the disease!
