This graph exhibits exponential growth, and perhaps even parabolic growth:

As I've been writing in my articles, we should know by March 1 whether
this rate of growth will continue, or whether it will level off.
I'm betting on a continuation that slowly, and I do mean slowly, subsides from the exponential model. Too many left Wuhan before the crackdown before containment, and nothing indicates that a vaccine is in the offing. Other than heightened awareness, nothing is likely to keep this in check inside China. The rest of the world should be locked-down a lot sooner, so your March 1st date may apply to not-China, though, due to proximity, a few other nearby smaller nations may get dragged along with the PRC. This will not disappear from the radar soon.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
