The Chinese city of Wuhan marked one year since the start of its traumatic 76-day coronavirus lockdown Saturday, while the pandemic raged elsewhere and governments scrambled to put in place new measures.

Europe faced a worsening struggle with production woes hitting supply of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine as well as the Pfizer/BioNTech shot.

"I think Wuhan is quite safe now, safer than my hometown and most places in China," 21-year-old resident Wang Yizhe said.Thousands of Hong Kongers in Jordan, one of the city's poorest and most densely-packed districts, were ordered to stay home Saturday unless they can show a negative test, in the city's first lockdown.AstraZeneca told AFP late Friday that "lower yield" at one of its vaccine-making sites would affect deliveries across Europe.

At a meeting with AstraZeneca representatives, the EU Commission "insisted on a precise delivery schedule on the basis of which member states should be planning their vaccination programs", Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides tweeted. However, Norwegian capital Oslo toughened health restrictions after the British variant was found in a retirement home, closing all but essential shops and asking people to restrict movements.

In Mexico, where hospitals have been overwhelmed and over 146,000 have died, people are queueing for hours to buy oxygen to care for the growing numbers fighting coronavirus at home.

It was already spreading in America, Italy and Spain already, get your story straight! A news network must be trustworthy and the key is honestly!

And a year since dumb governments didn't ban travel from endemic areas.

China also leads in Green Projects with Renewable energy.

China must be very pleased with the results

They will just fly all infected people around the world with the exception of mainland China.

Sanctions should be imposed on that country for not disclosing as it was starting.

Wuhan is a city of heroes, and the WuhanStory is a triumphant battle against a never seen deadly virus - it shows the courage of Chinese people and the nation.

Looks like there is more reason for a mask than just a virus. A carbon tax on Canadians is going to save the world 😂

Are they celebrating their takedown of the world?

News: Spread of *any* virus cannot be contained, and using the methods attempt to do so only causes more damage than the virus itself.

And lies about the actual death toll in China.

thank you ChinaVirusMadeInChina ChineseVirus

The good news is we know how it spreads. Contain these fools and sanity returns.

Strange, do they not have any cases? I find this very odd that the rest of the world is crippled with Covid and they are going about their lives as normal?🤔🤔🤔🤔
