True, however it appears the current breakout in Jilin province (according to Baidu) is a total of 30-40 confimed cases (Jilin province population is about 27 million) and a doubling of Jilin's COVID-19 death toll to two.

Comparing China (except possibly Hubei at the start of the crisis) with the situations in the USA and Western Europe now is comparing apples and oranges. The strength of the reactions to the outbreaks in the Northeast show to me that the government isn't interested in "curbing" the virus but eradicating it.
