Canadians with family stuck in Wuhan call on Ottawa for aid amid coronavirus outbreak

Banderaz Cheng, whose parents and brother's family are currently in Wuhan, is photographed in Surrey, B.C., on Jan. 28, 2020.Checking the phone first thing in the morning has become a new routine for Cici Liang, who was born and raised in Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the novel coronavirus that has infected thousands and killed more than 100 people in China.

Some Canadians born in Wuhan went ahead with their trips because Chinese authorities had said earlier that there was “no clear evidence” of person-to person transmission. However, the virus was already spreading, and some are now trapped, with travel in and out of the region shut down. Han Meijie said his parents flew to Wuhan for the holiday on Jan. 10 after Chinese officials said the virus was “preventable and controllable.” But the situation took a sharp turn days later.He said his parents, both 58, planned to return to Canada on Feb. 8, but their flight was cancelled.“Now, they’re stuck,” he said, adding that both are healthy and staying indoors unless they need groceries. But Mr. Han said he worries about his father, who has hypertension and diabetes.

“It’s not good to look at too much information about it. I still need to take care of our family here, and I cannot [afford] any breakdown.” “Do we have the ability to handle a sudden crisis?” said Banderaz Cheng, whose parents live in Wuhan.Suggestions from Chinese officials that the new virus could spread before symptoms show have intensified the fear, prompting calls for everyone returning from China to be quarantined for about 14 days, which is considered the maximum incubation period for most coronaviruses.

Canadian teacher in Wuhan says city 'like something out of a dystopian movie'A Canadian teacher who lives in the Chinese city that is the epicentre of a coronavirus outbreak says he has no plans to leave. What if it was a Zombie virus from space? Any meteors fly-by lately? 🤪 Is that on Netflix? So much densification in most major cities of the world, a perfect breeding ground for nasty bacteria and viruses. The curse of real-estate values. Politicians (past and present) are hopelessly useless in understanding this reality.

U.S., others prepare evacuations from Wuhan as coronavirus spreadsThe United States and several other nations prepared Tuesday to airlift citizens out of a Chinese city at the centre of a virus outbreak that has killed more than 100 people. Thank God! FOX News and OANN giving good reporting on Coronavirus. Alex Azar Sec. of Health gave a good report on the disease. Something we have not seen from our Gov't with their half truth's. The real question here is: why is any travel still being allowed in or out of China at all, at this point? All movement should be restricted - this is a no-brainer
