Does "how does what imagined compare to the scale of this pandemic?" mean "in what way does what you've imagined compare to the scale of this pandemic?"?
It is a "How does A compare to B" structure.

1.You have published many papers on coronaviruses and even warned of the possibility of a serious spillover event from animals to humans. Do you feel like your warnings were not appropriately heeded and how does what imagined compare to the scale of this pandemic?
A: The risk of cross-species infection always exists. With regards to this issue, China has undertaken scientific research projects, created facilities and equipment,and built teams of experts. With global environmental change and the expansion of human activity, the risk of infection continues to increase, which is confirmed and supported by our research. However, our study did not involve an investigation into the pandemic’s scale.
