Feb. 12 has given us good news just two days before Valentines as the feared Covid-19 infections are seeing a great decline. The certain model used to monitor data partaining to the alarming count on the Covid-19 infections. The only problem that the general public is facing is if this report is actually accurate.
The infectious virus does have an end at all
What seemed like the doom of humanity was seen by scientists with hard research and innovations to find ways to combat this virus. From doctors all the way to AI operators like BlueDot have been working together to pull together brilliant strategies to combat this alarming virus as it has already spread around the world. Only, the reports given about the decline of infected cases have not been duly verified. It is still a bit too early to celebrate.
The number of infected are slowy declining while the number of cured cases are slowly increasing according to research
It is a numbers game with both the infected and the cured and although this virus has proven to be a deadly foe, drastic measures pulled by scientists and other brilliant minds around the world have slowly contributed to the battle against the Covid-19and we are finally seeing results. Di Yi Zuo who has played a vital part in the Department of Health and Environmental Sciences of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University has confirmed that on Feb 16, we may start to see a decline with the number of infected cases. Despite this research and countless efforts given to provide this result, even the World Health Organization has claimed that they have underestimated the virus and still expecting an increasing rate of 1.4 to 2.5 as this virus continues to spread.

The mathematical model which was used was set up by an ad-hoc group of brilliant scientists to immediately update and keep data regarding the number of cases that were infected. This has been vital to everyone as the availability of resources are now better allocated to the infected cases as well asgive updates on how much more resources should be deployed altogether. The only problem is, the data given has not been proven 100% reliable.
Zou admits that the RNA kits have not been used to full potential
There have been admitted cases where patients were seen as positive for the virus despite having no confirmation with an RNA kit. These are still precautionary matters that some would argue that it is better to be safe than sorry as justification forshorting the process. This may be due to the lack of supply as Japan is experiencing right now. Also, the RNA in itself is still seen as not 100% accurate and although they may present leads to possible infections, the read is still not as accurate.
The data is constantly captured making sure to give close to accurate findings
The data is captured every 30 seconds notifying scientists who are working on countering this virus nonstop. Doctors are also given this data for them to take precautionary measures against the Covid-19. As Covid-19 infections in China declines, doctors are dealing with this sufficiently due to the current situation of overworked doctors who are slowly battling this virus. WHO is still deploying full force on countering this virus since the read of the model is still not 100% accurate.

The data from the model is available in both English and Chinese
Transparency for the data is vital for it to be battled in both ends. Universally, the data has to be understood as fast as possible for scientists to move faster. As the Covid-19 infections in China are said to have declined, WHO is still making sure that this virus is not underestimated.
