I live in Guangzhou and the city is under quarantine now (started Friday afternoon) and no idea when they will change that.

There are 16 cities under Marshal law. All of China is on an "extended holiday". The outbreak started in 武汉 WuHan which is the center of china. It is 6 hours from 北京 BeiJing, 6 hours from 上海 ShangHai and 6 hours from 广州 Gaungzhou. The virus started to spread right before the Chinese holiday began. Not only that, but there during that time, more than 5 million 武汉人 people form WuHan left 武汉 WuHan. Maybe they left China for Business or vacation, or maybe they started to travel to other provinces throughout China for the Holiday, but they left.


In 广州 GuangZhou, virtually everything is shutdown, with the exception of a few grocery stores. All the school officially now have no set date when they will resume.

Every 小区 like apartment complex type of thingy (not sure how to translate 小区 has guards 保安 that will take your temperature and spray your hands with disinfectant spray. Any type of church，party, business or social gatherings are all banned, any type of nice restaurant, movie theater, coffee shops, malls, are no longer allowed to gather because of potential virus spreading.

Basically its a hardcore ghost town here and has been for works. On the bright side, me and my friends can freely skate down the streets, hahahaha. The only cars I ever see are ambulances (every single day) and an occasional bus or car.

37592 confirmed cases 814 deaths and 2922 recovered. More people recover than die.

Which makes me wonder: What happens to those who don't die but don't recover either? Cause one either dies or recovers from a virus, there is no middle ground here.

 What happens to those who don't die but don't recover either? Cause one either dies or recovers from a virus, there is no middle ground here.

Yeah, how can we expect to end mankind if people start recovering from this flu thing, right?

In any case I can confirm what I said earlier, this Corona virus is blown out of proportions. Comparing it to the last one that hit China in 2002, this one is not as lethal. 10% of those infected 18 years ago died whereas a little above 2% of those infected this time around, die. I don't know why that is? Are humans more resistant or is this strain weaker? Who can say. The point is that out of 100 infected people, only 2 actually die so maybe people should not panic the way they seem to do.

Ah you think 2% is not enough ? Shit always happens to the others, until the day it happens to ourselves or a relative.
