It is apparent that the virus is infecting more people, ie. with a larger rate, than before, since we can see clearly from the chart that the slope is going upward.
However, after the observation through the recent few weeks (of the reports and articles from institutions and medias), I would say the virus is actually, and eventually, under control.
Some people might argue that it is not true. But let's have a look at some points:
1.although we have seen a bigger and bigger increasing rate along with this period, there is actually one data missed by all the reports --- accured cases. What if we are antually enjoying an even bigger and bigger accured rate, in spite that the increasing of the confirmed case? The following points are going to give some hints of this.
2. According to the announcement of WHO, most people actually healed themselves by just doing nothing but having a relatively regular healthy body, in spite there has not been an outstanding vaccine by now.
3. People themselves are actually less and less caring about this event. Tension has been pretty well eased by people from the "disaster".--this can be seen from the visiting report given by the websites which keep tracking the desease, and it is a very good evidence to prove that people are not afraid of this virus as much as before. And another question can be "why people ar doing this?" I myself think, they must be doing this based on their daily lives expeinece: the virus is now not that scary any more.
