How does a journalist end up believing and writing that "cases continue to grow in Shanghai, despite a failed weeks-long lockdown that has brought the financial hub to a halt"? https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/24/china/beijing-covid-outbreak-lockdown-fears-intl-hnk/index.html The peak of reported Shanghai cases was 10 days ago, 30% more cases than today.

Regarding deaths, the article correctly says "questions have been raised about whether the numbers account for all fatalities"; maybe the journalist disbelieves the tallies of _total_ cases; does the article say "reported cases are dropping but maybe real cases are rising"? No.
