Re: Is there anything about lockdown you like?

I live in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
The city has been "locked down" for 3 months now.
Apparently the restrictions were lifted 8th April , but....
I need a medical certificate to leave the community where I live but....I'm still not allowed out to get one from the hospital....catch 22 !

I can comment without fear of being arrested, I find it strange that you should ask that question ? I have been kept updated, daily, of the situation. The data released was correct at the time of release. Perhaps some people don't understand that there is an an "incubation period" and so cases have ...

Re: Which one is the most dangerous?

I am amazed at the UK Government ignorant approach regarding COVID-19. I live in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, where the pandemic, allegedly, originated.

Re: Who is still working?

I live in Wuhan, China. I teach English.
The whole city is on "Lockdown" all schools are closed as is everywhere else, shops etc.
We are not even allowed to leave our apartments.
So, no, I'm not working at the moment, but possibly I will be allowed to continue after 8th April.
