The situation outside of Hubei looks encouraging but the data appears to indicate that there is probably a threshold of patients (different for each country) from which the mortality starts to rise.
Reasons behind this might be either institutional or purely statistical that is it might be possible that each country can keep alive at least certain number of critical patients and starts to fail when certain number is exceeded and it is possible that smaller number of patients are not representative enough and do not contain high risk patients (elderly, people with other chronic illness etc).
Edit: Diamond Princess is not representative because people have been evacuated and are now counted under countries statistics https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-01/man-dies-in-first-australia-coronavirus-fatality-channel-9-says https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-01/man-dies-...
