13,000 cases out of a population of over 1.3 billion.
That's one thousandth of a percent.
13,000 cases over two months works out as around 200 per day and the rate has been declining for some days, so is a reduction of 90% really outside of the believable range?
I think it has zilch to do with China getting people back to work. That would be completely counterproductive if the virus then takes hold and nullifies all their efforts at containment. The resulting damage would do more economic harm that sitting tight until it dies away.
