#4  All the infected, carrier Chins with no symptoms that came over for the 'holidays' are returning home and must be managed.

#3  "Doctor in #Wuhan says experts “madly” signing off discharging documents so that the quarantine can be over. This is out of political considerations. He is very much worried this would cause huge problems. "

#2  My hypothesis is that the situation in China is qualitatively. similar to the situation in South Korea.

For some reason (*) the highly intensive epidemic has abated but new cases still appear regularly while the number of active cases decreases.

China's absolute numbers are bogus by orders of magnitude though and for reasons of international prestige they're pretending that there are no new cases.

Thus acknowledging the continuous presence of Wuhan virus disease and taking measures to keep it under control is technically an ideological offense.

Objectively the Chinese regime is incentivizing behavior that might precipitate a second big outbreak in at least some areas of the country.

(*) The reason could be the lock down or the spread of a highly transmissible but extremely mild variant of the virus, probably a combination of both.

#1  Raising another possibility: China's low number are (more or less) real, only because they walled off Wuhan. They may have kicked the can to the other provinces, prolonging the agony. Another argument for striving for herd immunity.
