I was in touch with 2 contacts I have in Wuhan and apparently the situation is substantially better. This video shows a closed temporary hospital in Wuhan.
Don't pay much attention to what government says, but the picture of the empty hospital is reasonable evidence of a better situation to me. Also, this link discusses improvement in the situation. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/03/13/evolving-epidemiology-and-impact-of-non-pharmaceutical-interventions-on-the-outbreak-of-coronavirus-disease-2019-in-wuhan-china/ Many of the comments are very interesting.
There are reasonable reasons to believe that outbreak in US won't be as bad as some of the worst case scenarios.
