What's life like in quarantined Wuhan?

Chinese President Xi Jinping has held a special government meeting on the Lunar New Year public holiday to warn that the spread of a deadly new virus is "accelerating".

The country is facing a "grave situation" Mr Xi told senior officials, according to state television.

The coronavirus has killed at least 41 people and infected almost 1,300 since its discovery in the city of Wuhan.
Travel restrictions have already hit several affected cities.

And from Sunday, private vehicles will be banned from the central districts of Wuhan, the source of the outbreak.

A second emergency hospital is to be built there within weeks to handle 1,300 new patients, and will be finished in half a month, state newspaper the People's Daily said. It is the second such rapid construction project: work on another 1,000-bed hospital has already begun.

Specialist military medical teams have also been flown into Hubei province, where Wuhan is located.

The urgency reflects concern both within China and elsewhere about the spread of the virus which first appeared in December.

Shit must be getting real when they officially acknowledge a problem and use language like "grave situation". Usually the official line when it comes to "stuff that makes central government look bad" is denial and misdirection.

We could ask the same question to Kapernick and the NBA players as well since they praised China a lot.

Haha I mean Zuck did a VR livestream after that hurricane hit Puerto Rico.

I don't give a shit about sports or the players unfortunately. Especially their opinions on world events and politics.

All this is giving me flashbacks of some old lady and her annoying ass Szechuan dialect.

I'm also guessing the reason why the government isn't sweeping it under the rug is the possibility of it spreading into every nook and cranny in other countries.

They can't sweep it under the rug after failing to do it from the start. Anyone paying attention is at least aware of it and I don't think world leaders will let China slip out of accountability.
