Why would CBS lie? Out of habit?
The Chinese Communists definitely can't be trusted. They created the new virus out of SARS and HIV and no telling what else, and then when it got out of the lab they kept the news to themselves. They knew that if they shut down their country for containment it would send them into an economic depression. Rather than allow that, they let the virus spread around the world, so that ALL economies would suffer.
China needs to reimburse the world for what they did. Trillions of dollars of repayment. They won't, of course, so I wouldn't be surprised if their intransigence results in WW3. They have a big interest in Venezuela, and it looks as if the US might be making moves against the Maduro government there. Get rid of Maduro, seize the ChiCom assets. And then start seizing their assets in the rest of the Western Hemisphere.
Steve Bannon spoke some time ago about the Chinese people needing to throw out the thuggish Mao holdovers. Maybe the coronavirus will be the catalyst for action. Chinese citizens aren't too happy about what's happening right now. The first half of this interview is excellent (he repeats the info in the second half):

It's been interesting in the US to watch the Democratic-controlled states resort to totalitarian lockdowns so quickly. And they push them to such absurd extremes.

I'm glad that Trump hasn't allowed himself to be bullied, thus far at least, into a national lockdown. He's leaving such decisions up to the states. And he announced today that he probably won't be wearing a mask. That's good. American presidents have a tradition of projecting strength and confidence.
Trump needs to fire his advisor Dr. Fauci. On January 21 Fauci said that America was under no threat from the virus. Ten days later Trump restricted travel from China. Now Fauci says Trump needs to do a shutdown of our economy. Fauci is either a ChiCom facilitator or unstable:

And what can you say about Nancy Pelosi? On Jan 31 she called Trump's China restrictions unnecessary. A month later she was in San Francisco's Chinatown telling people to visit the restaurants there. Now she's accusing Trump of reacting slowly to the crisis.

Seattle, NY City, and Pelosi's San Francisco were the first 3 hotspots in the US. All three cities had large numbers of Chinese nationals returning to the US after celebrating Chinese New Years in the old country. Those cities should have been quarantined, but that was back when the Dems were calling Trump a racist for axing flights from China. Hopefully America has now had a craw full of leftist horseshit, and hotspots can be sealed off as they pop up. Do that, relax restrictions where the numbers are low, and begin the recovery.
What else?
Here are some new guidelines from the NVSS, the National Vital Statistics System. "COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death." So now the virus will be mentioned on death certificates if it is ASSUMED to have CONTRIBUTED to a death. This will greatly inflate the virus death numbers that the media reports to us.

The Governor of Connecticut shamelessly tried to fudge the death numbers when a child died. “A 6-week-old newborn from the Hartford area was brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and could not be revived. Testing confirmed last night that the newborn was COVID-19 positive.” OK, she was positive. But what did she die of? He didn't say. It's just fearmongering, to scare people into accepting dictatorship. Fortunately he got called on what he did. Candace Owens was so steamed that she said she decided to run for office. That's good news. She's super.

Mike Weinberger: I'm Sick of Hearing About the Coronavirus
...even if it (the death toll) reaches 70,000 that’s still less than one person out of every five thousand. ... Do you know five thousand people? If not, the odds are you wouldn’t even know anyone who would have died from the virus. Again, that’s not to say the death of 70,000 people is something to ignore, but it is also not something that justifies wrecking the lives of 330,000,000....
...The important thing, when confronted with a problem that can take the life of one out of every 10,000, is to focus on the remaining 9,999 — not just the one. A herd of buffalo does not commit suicide if one member is taken by a pack of wolves, and we cannot commit national suicide because one American out of five or ten thousand is taken by this disease....
