For 24 hours a day, Shi -- who is in her mid-30s -- sat by her mother's bedside in hospital, taking care of her. Around her, more and more people were getting sick from a newly identifiedAfter all, Chinese authorities were saying that the outbreak was"preventable and controllable."
Now, three weeks after Shi arrived in China, it's clear the outbreak is not under control. The virus has spread to every Chinese province and region, across Asia and as far away as . It has infected more than 7,700 people and killed at least 170. Wuhan has been placed on an effective lockdown, almost entirely sealed off from the outside world.A suspected patient of coronavirus at a community health station in Wuhan, China.
But she is more worried for her family -- for her 67-year-old father who also appears to have the virus too, and for her mother who has been uprooted to what she describes as an older, inferior hospital building, to make way for the rush of coronavirus patients. Shi, and others like her, have become victims of a public health care crisis. Over the past few days, CNN has spoken to patients, medical staff and experts who have told of delays in testing for the virus, in telling the public the true nature of the virus' spread, and of an already overburdened health system creaking under the enormous weight of a rapidly expanding outbreak.
How can that piece of machine verify if a person is contagious with the Coronavirus? You can’t scan a person like if they were merchandise! You need to close all the Airports Coming Asia !!!

Smart move from Corona Beer under the circumstances!
Oh my God 🙆
Mass hysteria over a virus similar to the flu. People acting like it’s the Black Plague, this is like the swine-flu, it will pass.
This virus is real
👀
US corona patients more than 2700. US officials hide real numbers. US special forces kills innocent patients secretly to stop epidemic.
I worked for corona in the 80s. Had to pass a physical ! So did the bubbles
But with no reported deaths outside of China. Wash hands, sneeze/cough into Kleenex & throw it away. Be alert not anxious, don’t travel to china, call ur doctor if sick before u go in so they can be ready, don’t touch ur face, avoid sick ppl (6feet away) stay home if sick 😷
This should have been done weeks ago. Better late than never. WHO CDCgov
Why hasn't the CDCgov made any recent statements? They have not updated the American people since last week and their numbers are grossly off. BBCWorld BBCNews are the only news source reporting the severity of the epidemic.
keep your cash....pay only with ccards....just in case....stick it to the man 🙊😉
Wow
BREAKING Exclusive images of the new Apple's VR headset developed in partnership with the Chinese authorities. Resistant to viruses and life in general, tests in China would be in final phase according to an internal report. Apple could release it in 2020. coronavirus
Finally... what took so long?
So fast, World Health Organization
About time
Wow, look at all these doctors and researchers with so much time that they are on twitter posting 'bout time' and 'told you so'.
While SecretaryRoss says it might be a win for the US ?
Now do the right thing...stop protecting their RIDICULOUS and perverted treatment of animals. Selling captured wild animals and stolen dogs and cats to torture to death created these viruses. When one wipes us out... good riddance. Humans are an overpopulated VIRUS themselves.
Here’s and idea China. Don’t eat everything
This shit is getting real!!
