RE: Wuhan doctors celebrate closure of last temporary hospital after dramatic fall in cases in China16 Mar 2020 10:25
Firstly I think yes, China is not off the grid with social media and as a huge amount of nurses, doctors were drafted into Wuhan from the rest of China, it would be hard to lie at this point and embarrassing. Especially as the nurses and doctors have already been quite vocal about the situation. Not ruling it out but think it is real. Plus we will be able to see.
Secondly, it just makes sense. All viruses go away or mutate into less dangerous versions. Viruses, as a rule, do not want to kill the host, they can not exist on a dead host. So they are engineered (if you like) to become weaker so that they may survive. The version that kills, dies out on the host and versions that do not are able to spread, once infected, there is a high chance of immunity and eventually, it has run its course.
Just a view.
