As far as I can tell the numbers are off on both non-coronavirus cases and coronavirus cases alike. I think they are very much an estimate with under reporting happening for both active cases and for deaths. Most of this is due to the wide spread nature of the beast and that most countries aren't able to test enough, like the US. So it's hard to either be comforted or scared by the numbers as they are far from accurate. I don't think anyone believes the numbers coming out of China either. They seem way to low compared to the rest of the world even with draconian quarantines in place.
We might find out more accurate numbers after this is all over... or we might not.
