China defined what the meaning for each of the reported stats. Infected means it's tested positive under a RNA ptpcrt test. I don't think at this point, china is fudging the number. But because of this definition a lot of cases are not being tested because of a lack of medical resources especially in wuhan. So the real cases in the public is far greater than 40000. They also released information on what they learned medically about the virus and the real situation in wuhan. I seen the videos posted on FB and Twitter and I think the government is not hiding the "the bad news" so just following these source already paints a virus that is highly contagious and difficult to diagnose. Their actions are formed based on a lot of information not captured by the reported numbers and actions are more forward looking as they are trying to anticipate how the virus will develop. The numbers are laggards. So I believe we should all look at the actions instead of the number. If the situation does not warrent lock down on travel and public gathering in many cities, which destroys the economy, why would they do it? Now the situational assessment is two parts, one is the dangerous of the virus, second the societal conditions in China that encourage the virus spreading. It might be that for the same virus it might not be as transmittable in other countries. So other countries shouldnt copy Chinese response directly.
