The media are still beating this thing up for all they are worth...but the reality is, while total case numbers may trickle up slowly, new incidence is well on the decline.
The first of those links says new cases per day peaked on February 4. The second link shows a graph with a massive spike on about February 13 (due to new diagnosis criteria), and a steady rise in new cases per day all through March - presumably due to the fact that it has now "broken out" to start renewed exponential growth in multiple locations around the globe.

If we can't trust the tabloid media, which of your two links should we trust?

My money says Donald Trump was watching the first one until only a couple of days ago, but the medical professionals are focusing on data as in the second link, and the rate of new cases is still growing globally.

Stay healthy, people!
