China numbers suggest that they have Covid-19 under control (average 0.3% daily growth in confirmed cases last week, 0.4% for Hubei), how reliable are those numbers?

Likely fairly reliable. WHO people on location are corroborating that the number of people being hospitalized for respiratory issues in China have fallen massively over the last month, beds are being freed up, the queues of sick people have disappeared...

Whisper it, but it also looks as if the number of new cases on Korea have plateaued. It’s been around 500 a day for the last 10 days ago, so hopefully a sign of things starting to be brought under control



The ROK's handling of the coronavirus has been some of the best in the world with regards to response and testing.

Just carrying this over from the US thread:

The WHO has officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.
