For about three weeks, the world has been closely following reports about the new coronavirus with bated breath. Headlines like 'The new deadly virus kills hundreds in China!' dominate newspapers and TV news, while pharmacies worldwide are selling out of surgical masks. WHO statistics, however, suggest that this virus may not be as dangerous as the media portrays, and the epidemic is finally beginning to show signs of decline or at least stabilization. In fact, today marks a turning point, as the first Chinese cities released some residents from home quarantine and allowed shops and restaurants to reopen.
