Do you have sourced data for your statement that there are thousands still dying? I live in Guangdong and this week the authorities finally took away the fences from around my village. My colleagues from Hubei province were also allowed to return this week, after being under complete lockdown (cannot even leave the apartment) for 8 weeks.

I trust nothing the CPC says, and i think it's shameful that they're crowing so loudly about their "victory" over a disaster of their own making, but there's no question that compared to 3 or 4 weeks ago, things here are a lot more relaxed.
