I don't accept the truthfulness/accuracy of anything coming out of China (and yes,despite what some might claim,Hong Kong is *absolutely* part of China).
The only figures I'd be inclined to believe are those coming from Japan,South Korea,the EU countries and the United States.
Deaths/cases as a measure of severity says this virus is far more deadly than flu.
But . . . people are looking at the wrong thing. Go to the worldometers site. There you can get more than the headline number of cases global.
You can get Active Cases. This is total cases minus recovered and dead. Active cases remove resolved cases.
Active cases have been in decline for 2 weeks globbally.
Containment measures are working. Total cases are only going to be interesting to future historians. It is active cases that determine how society should change behavior, and they are in decline.
