No?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>harmmonica</author><text>It has been, I think, 5 days since the last case in Wuhan (guess there&amp;#x27;s a debate about a case that may have occurred yesterday&amp;#x2F;today, but jury&amp;#x27;s out on that one based on media reports).&lt;p&gt;That said, if the 5 days is true, then you wouldn&amp;#x27;t expect them to remove the lockdown until they know they&amp;#x27;ve starved the virus for the incubation period (I think it&amp;#x27;s generally accepted that 14 days is the number, but that there are potentially longer outliers). By that logic, you wouldn&amp;#x27;t expect them to lift the lockdown materially for another 9 days and even then you would expect them to only gradually lift restrictions while they ensure no new cases emerge.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m sure there &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; media outlets saying China has &amp;quot;defeated&amp;quot; the virus, but from what I&amp;#x27;ve read they&amp;#x27;ve contained it, kept new infections to a minimum (attributing all at this point to imported cases) and are still on varying degrees of lockdown. And this is hardly reputable, but I follow people on Instagram who are in Shanghai and folks there still talk as if things are far from normal... There are still restrictions on what you can do, where you can go.</text></comment>

No?&lt;p&gt;Who knows, I think they have no idea and are just keeping things as they are to avoid having Wuhan in the news. Would make awful press to admit to any new cases in Wuhan.&lt;p&gt;Are other major metropolises locked down similarly? Beijing, Shanghai?&lt;p&gt;In general, is it credible that China has had no new cases other than those so called &amp;quot;imported from outside&amp;quot;? Sounds like propaganda to me.</text></comment>
