Quite possibly.

They might also be waiting on a few more cases....although the COVID-19 "pandemic" began with reports of roughly the same number of pneumonia cases.

While the rational empiricist in me cannot see any way a replay of the COVID_19 Pandemic Panic Narrative would have even a fraction of the traction that narrative has had, especially early on, the cynic in me suspects corporate media at the very least will be tempted to try if there's any hint of a widespread contagion risk from this novel pathogen (and, to be clear, at this point we do not even have certainty on what has caused the underlying pneumonia, and it remains very much a pneumonia of unknown etiology....just as SARS-CoV-2 was in December of 2019).

But, if the rational skeptical view of these pneumonia cases can get even some traction before the Pandemic Panic Narrative gets set, that narrative will be significantly weakened even before it has a chance to get started.

So...forewarned is forearmed. I hope.
