An American who spent more than 2 months locked down in Wuhan, where the coronavirus epidemic first emerged, is urging people back home to prepare for a lengthy interruption to their lives.

“People are still in a quarantine mindset and I don't know how many weeks or months they are going to continue to behave as though there's still an imminent threat, even though we might have almost no infections,” he said. “There's always a fear that it's not actually under control, that it could re-emerge.”

The reopening of Wuhan marks a turning point in China’s fight against the virus, with nearly no domestic new cases reported in recent days and the majority of new infections coming from abroad. But lingering questions about whether the city has completely stemmed the epidemic are not making the return to the normal easy.

Wilson expects it could be months before life gets back to what it used to be before the outbreak despite Chinese government’s optimistic outlook and eagerness to reignite the economy. “I myself don't really have a clear bright line for when I would say it's safe, that I don't need to wear a mask anymore or socially distance myself,” he said. “I'm not sure any newspaper or any government could just tell me that and I would believe it.”Keir Simmons is a London-based foreign correspondent for NBC News.

My classmates spent the Chinese year in China. Their government is excellent. Everyone is free to test, isolate and treat.

Tomorrow April 4 the whole of China will stop and mourn for those who died in the coronavirus No matter which country or party you are please put down the struggle and mourn for the deceased

😨😨😰😰It's very…………I don't know what to say,This time the virus is very terrible, we must work hard to prevent and avoid infection👀💪🏻

For over two months, Wuhan residents faced draconian restrictions, blocking all movement in, out and around the industrial city of 11 million people. “People are still in a quarantine mindset, even though we might have almost no infections,” US citizen Benjamin Wilson says. (2/3)

Florida Gov. Desantis might be the dumbest Gov. in the USA his slow response & policies like, religion can gather for masses, will probably kill Thousands. People of responsibility need to be held accountable, Gov. Desantis' 1st mistake is taking direction & advice from Trump!
