To me this article seems to be missing the most important stat from the original article, which is that the case fatality rate as measured is 2.9% inside Hubei (possibly under-reported) and 0.4% outside.

I think this strongly suggests that, as one would expect, the situation is much worse if patients lack the medical resources for care. And it also shows how important quarantine and preventative measures are.
