Read this article on Reuters, mostly about China tentatively trying to move back to normalcy in the wake of the Coronavirus' peak but something stood out to me in the article specifically.
As shops shut their doors across Europe and the United States, in China the sharp drop in new coronavirus cases has encouraged consumers to venture back into malls and restaurants - for the most part quite gingerly but occasionally in throngs.

Considering the official numbers of confirmed cases in China was a smidgen over 80,000... that either means it's a typo which is entirely possible though the article is five hours old or that there's some massive underreporting on infected (likely because many of the symptoms are mild or indistinguishable from the Cold/Flu and the lack of comprehensive testing in general). I'm still leaning towards typo though... because it's either missing a zero... or undercounting something by a factor of ten. I'm hoping it's the latter of course since a fraction of a percent overall mortality rate is far more preferable then a low single digit percentage ten times larger.
