maybe the weak die faster meanwhile the stronger majority stays on a limp until they die
Until they die or recover.
the number of recoveries doesn't match the number of infected, far from it, unless I'm wrong on this one
The number of dead doesn't match the number of infected too. Most infected who will make it past 2 weeks will have a higher chance of recovery. Yet we have no idea how long it might take for a full recovery.
Number of recoveries is quite low according to this site https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
530 recoveries, 362 death, 17,489 confirmed cases
And that is of course, if we consider numbers are accurate or even remotely accurate. Chances are they aren't
Even if they were, that means 16k people are still fighting the virus, thus what I mentioned about the fact that we don't have an average time reference for the recovery.
The only reliable elements we have so far isn't what chinese authorities say about the virus, but what they did
And what they did is quite extraordinary so far. Extraordinary as in "out of the ordinary". As far as I can tell it's a first.
