Chinese officials at the epicentre of a coronavirus crisis are coming under fire for incompetence and being ridiculed for not properly wearing protective masks.

Chinese officials at the epicentre of a coronavirus crisis are coming under fire for incompetence and being ridiculed for not properly wearing protective masks as anger mounts over the handling of a deadly virus.

Governor of the central Hubei province Wang Xiaodong held the press conference without wearing a mask - in violation of the provincial capital Wuhan's own rules mandating masks in public spaces.Meanwhile, the mayor of Wuhan was wearing his mask incorrectly by having it on inside out, pointed out Chinese users on Weibo,"If the mayor doesn't even know how to wear a mask, how will everyday people know?" criticised one user.

The comments are a rare instance of public anger outpacing the army of online censors in China, where criticism of government figures is usually scrubbed.READ MOREOnline users also zeroed in on Wang's repeated fumble of Hubei's annual mask production, giving three revisions to his answer from 10.8 billion to 1.8 billion, to 1.08 million.

Really? That is a very odd spin to put on a sensible public health measure. What? Because the PM is an Ad man you thought you'd run with that? You seriously need to take a hard look at yourselves. So it should, please take this seriously We have to stop being reactive and be proactive 30 people in the world have died in one month from this disease If 30 same make cars all suddenly stopped working, there would be an immediate world wide recall Rather lose a few dollars there for a few weeks than 2.5% to 5% of the population. If its about the economy then that is 2.5% reduction in GDP. It is not fear mongering, it is happened before and can happen again and this virus shows no signs of being any less deadly than 1918.
