As if by magic (or by CPC decree), their curve of new case diagnoses became flat. In reality, that is not possible.
All infection curves flatten out after the disease has been successfully contained. Ours will too eventually. South Korea's curve is flattening too. Does that mean South Korea is lying to us too?

Flattening the curve does not mean China isn't still reporting new cases, just that the rate of increase is not as high as before.

South Korea has been lauded for weeks for its comprehensive testing. In the early stages their death/cases rate was very low as well. Then it stabilized at around 0.4% as it turned the corner at the beginning of March.
With relatively few new cases that death rate has continued to creep up.

S Korea finally crossed under 50% of identified cases being still sick, Friday. Deaths/resolved has passed just under 3%, and the convergence of that arc and of the deaths/case arc looks to be at about 2.2%.
Hopefully the new treatments can pull that down by avoiding the otherwise expected deaths.
