Fear, Anxiety and Guilt: The Psychological Toll of China’s Coronavirus War

The country’s aggressive campaign of lockdowns and quarantines has separated families and left many isolated, adding to the dread around the epidemic

WSJ’s Shan Li and Stephanie Yang traveled to Hubei, the Chinese province at the center of the new coronavirus epidemic. As authorities impose tighter quarantine rules, they were asked to spend 14 days indoors and undergo a strict routine.

Liu Xiaoxian, a 25-year-old television producer from Wuhan, the center of the epidemic, is tormented by guilt at being separated for more than a month from her parents. They developed coughs after going out maskless to shop for groceries not far from the market...

The truth is, people in China feel hopeful and optimistic with the virus get controlled and with the responsible government. Worry about urself.🤣

Stop eating Pets! Stop eating animals which is NOT for Human consumption! I cannot feel empathy for people who just continue to murder animals knowing its not for human consumption.🐕🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐱🐈🐇🐿🐒🦧🦏🐘🦒🦓🐆🐎🦇🦇🦇🦨🦈🦈🦗🕷🦂These animals carry diseases!

Oh really? Maybe war has broken out in America. We all saw America shooting at each other.

I read some tweets that all family members died with WuhanCoronavirus, leave the kid alone, it would be trauma to kids and other survivors

This is reportedly a country that harvests organs from undesirables, CV probably doesn’t rate top 100 threats to Chinese citizens.

If nothing else might introduce the real need for deep cleaning and higher health and safety standards to all aspects of life around the world.

“Turn the corner”, how do you measure this?

NO WORRY ,BE HAPPY

GOD!Please leave China free and turn to concern about yourself,OK?

Need to follow China 🌎 experts

Please be able to know it and then comment You knew nothing about the situation. Chinese government has saved a lot of lives. Only the separation can prevent the virus.

不这样难道和意大利一样，为了自由选择死扛不带口罩吗？

fake media only post unjust, fake,discriminating news.

Look at what the US government is doing. Look at the border where family is forced to divided .

Waiting for the development in states

In total, the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That's fairly on par with a typical season. 10% death rate. C19 likely flu

As opposed to... not testing, pretending it’s nbd, saying it’s a hoax, not utilizing proper safety protocols of known direct contacts, and letting it spread?

It’s bold and it’s the right move, I think other countries don’t act the same way may have much bigger trouble. I have my family in Shanghai and company in ShenZhen, everyone around me feel much safer

Utilisation of the COVID 19 corona virus as a political weapon, against China,it's government and people as some journalists and politicians do, must be CONDEMN it's unjust and shameful.

And how many lifes they saved by doing it? Any idea? Ther are always 2 saids of this kind of tragedy

US's negative attitude and useless 'pray' has promoted the spreading of virus and panic, leading to the uncertain future of the epidemic.

fear make all people face the -Cov seriously,and almost win this fight. all this trying ,I can hardly see from other country.🙃🙃

Yes but they've saved thousands of lives. Enough already with the sappy, overemotional stories written to deceive and spread fear & anxiety. COVID19 coronavirus

The Chinese Communists probably looked at this as an opportunity to make some dissidents and/or folks with low social credit scores disappear. Efficiency

Please never do this in the US. With human rights and freedom, Ameircans will always been blessed and immune to the virus !!!! It will disappear in April and Americans will be fine

And they save people immediately!

去你妈的傻逼，现在美国市场比中国市场恐惧多了

Those wacky communists doing communist things.

Imagine how the old folks at the nursing home in King County Washington are feeling right now.... Two dead, 57 others sick... They can't leave and their family can't come see them. They've been incubating in the virus for weeks and are only now being slowly tested.

The Chinese government and their medical teams are preventing a pandemic... Better a person feels fear, anxiety and guilt then a novel corona virus-19 epidemic or pandemic..

狗屁

Why are you as the newspaper(!) full of lies? China is about to overcome this pandemic. If it happened in the USA, you people will lose everything, start eating each other... Oh boys!

大家快截图，以后疯狂打脸的感觉可爽了！

Or they can do nothing and all get the virus, people are ridiculous

And it saved a lot of lives in a short period of time,

Airport Workers Fear They're Unprotected From The CoronavirusAppeals for calm by the Trump administration and the CDC haven't done much to ease the worries of airport workers, who say they're on the front lines of the COVID-19 outbreak. The reuse of 🧤 gloves is just asking for the covid19 virus to spread. Oh, who would have guessed inept governments lead nearly exclusively by Democrats are failing to properly train their employees. I had flight attendants on United complain to me that they were scared! They were also forced to serve and retrieve dishware and glasses from coughing passengers and have no way or supplies to make their job safer. It's not like they can say 'hey, cover your mouth'
