I think once China realized they were going to be left behind they started ramping up the fear propaganda even though they had it under control. Early on all the videos coming out were cell phone vids. It was actually really bad then, bloggers disappearing and stuff. Then suddenly you had these ccp videos showing off how their special forces were dealing with quarantine breakers while in full hazmat suits. And them showing off their shitty rapid rise hospitals. I think that was the beginning of their second phase of strategy to try and have the rest of the world shut down as well.
