> China stopped testing ages ago You seem to be pulling this out of your ar*e, since it is inconsistent with all U.S. reporting I’ve seen as well as second hand knowledge from acquaintances in China (in and out of Wuhan/Hubei), including medical professionals. According to aforementioned sources, tests are administered for anyone who either show any symptom or are hospitalized for any reason. Some companies apparently also require testing — which is widely available now — before resuming work (reported by NYT[1], haven’t been able to confirm this myself). Recently a new cluster was discovered in Wuhan, and now they’re planning to test all 11 million residents.[1] I checked with two acquaintances in Wuhan (only got two, so unfortunately can’t provide a fuller picture), and this is apparently already underway, with one of them tested yesterday and one scheduled for tomorrow.

"You seem to be pulling this out of your ar*e, since it is inconsistent with all U.S. reporting" China had no new Coronavirus cases for an entire month and even before this, it was very few. With its population density, number of people, and how fast the virus spreads, this is scientifically impossible. Either nobody is being tested during this time, the tests aren't accurate, or the numbers are a complete lie. All are just as bad and don't prove that China has anything 'tamed'. The article you linked to was from yesterday. They have only just started announcing new testing again because of the bad global press and now the numbers are increasing again. I would also look at your sources. Many US news sites have large funding from the Chinese government. Hell, the WHO won't allow Taiwan at the assembly and actively ignored them when they were contacted about the virus in December...which would have saved many lives and prevented the potential global disaster we now have today.
