When will the epidemic in Wuhan end?

Around the 23rd, most parts of the country began to strictly control the epidemic. The incubation period is 14 days. The simplest mathematical calculation can deduce that under the condition of [most people are under control], all people in the incubation period will gradually develop symptoms, and the population movement will not be too much under strict control, so the number of newly infected people and the number of latent infected people will decrease.
In fact, when we first said "stay at home", it was "controllable", so don't worry. Wait until spring comes.

This is the best news we have heard so far. Experts predict that the number of infections may decrease in about two weeks around the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Only by taking strict precautions can we realize the experts' predictions.
