Millions of residents in Hubei province are spending the Chinese-new-year holiday under government-imposed quarantine

IT IS THE second day of the Chinese new year, a time when families would normally still be celebrating. But Zhang Fang is keeping herself isolated in her bedroom. She probably has a mild infection typical of the season, but is not taking risks. Ms Zhang, a marketing manager in her 20s, lives with her husband and her in-laws in a central district of Wuhan, the Chinese city first affected by a newly identified coronavirus that has been causing global alarm.

Such measures have not stopped the virus from spreading. By January 26th, the second day of the year of the rat, the number of confirmed infections nationwide had risen to about 2,000, twice as many as were reported two days earlier. A further 20,000 people are under observation. So far 56 people are reported to have died from the virus.

The holiday in China will be bleak. Many cities have cancelled their usual temple fairs. Many restaurants and entertainment venues have closed. Film companies have scrapped the release of new films, or have chosen to show them on streaming services rather than in cinemas. Couples are putting off or scaling down weddings.

With coronavirus spreading, U.S. evacuating personnel to San Francisco from Wuhan, ChinaAmid coronavirus outbreak, U.S. officials are 'making arrangements to relocate its personnel stationed at the U.S. Consulate General' in Wuhan, China, to the U.S. Unfortunately they might get sick if they have to stay in San Francisco. They should be quarantined for awhile before releasing to make sure they DO NOT have the virus!!!!! Interesting. The federal government intends to put the virus carriers in the city that characterizes liberal backwardism (and human excrement on sidewalks), in the state rushing headlong into communism. Good plan!
