#3 some countries have for now gotten this under control

e.g.,

India had several cases diagnosed in early Feb but hasn't had a new case in about 3 weeks

Singapore with over a hundred cases and still no deaths.

Many of the provinces in China (not Hubai obviously) have been having no more than a half a dozen new cases per day even though these provinces have 30 million to 100 million people.

even the Diamond Princess, with 700+ cases and 3000+ people on board has gone most of a week without new cases
