I was Skyping with someone from Wuhan earlier this week…she was there throughout the 76 day lockdown and expressed a certain pride in her government’s actions. Happy that the lockdown was to be lifted. Interestingly, she said she had not heard of any reports In China about a second wave of pandemic. From the looks of the pictures I’ve seen, hopefully they’re going to exercise a little more caution than seems evident and sustain some level of social distancing for a while yet.
