Anyone here from Wuhan? How is the situation there? Do you think this is a start of a new epidemic?
Le reddit has arrived
My co-worker flew to Wuhan on 1/16. She's stuck there now. I work in a small 10 person office so everyone's on edge about her coming back.
The entire city is cordoned off and is a ghost town. Even nearing cities have makeshift road blocks to not approach. There is severe food shortage because of lack of access. The city official said that he couldn't declare emergency earlier because of pressure from higher ups. He also offered to resign. This is very rare, Chinese govt never admits fault, this act itself is unique. Neighboring countries like Mongolia has closed borders, even Hong Kong has. Since it is quarantine no one can get in or out.
That's scary. Hope everything comes back to normal soon!
You know a lot. You been having bat soup?
Food shortage? Fake news too much. Face mask is running out, not food. People will run our of the city first thing if there's a food shortage. And it's hard to stop 11M hungry people
About the 1,000 people that are coming back to the U.S. and stopping in Anchorage then in a remote town in Cali as if those measures are to ease concerns...
Too many people are taking 2% fatality rate as settled. That's assuming a lot considering the volume of cases in China compared to rest of world. https://youtu.be/5hFNOiCOLJ0?t=12m5s Beijing based human rights lawyer who went to Hong Kong to give an alternative view to CCTV coverage is on the ground in Wuhan. Tldr not enough testing kits (2000 per day) , people who have symptoms queue for days, go to 5-6 different hospitals without getting treatment, all hospitals out of beds, patients take IV drips to their cars or benches outside. People who die before getting diagnosed aren't autopsied (no manpower) so those cases aren't being classified as fatalities. In a separate video, he counts 4 vans going into the designated crematorium in 90mins, another person on the ground has video of 8 bodies in the vans, the cremations are now open to 4 facilities to deal with the volume.
