The active number of cases is actually decreasing if you look at the trends on these charts and the death rate is deceasing as well. The growth rate is slightly above 1. If it trends below 1 soon it will most likely die out. So definitely not as dire as you hear the media make it out to be. Never let a good crisis and chance for sensationalism pass you by though. In the meantime, whole industries, such as travel, are devastated.
