"It is unclear how much business they are actually doing, however. At industrial companies in Wuhan, only 60% of employees are on the job, and electricity consumption is one-fifth less than what it was this time last year, said Dang Zhen, at the same briefing."
"Many people in Wuhan do not need to be told to keep isolating themselves, to say nothing about leaving the city. The experience of death and near-death has left psychic wounds. Of China’s more than 80,000 reported cases of the virus, nearly two-thirds have been in Wuhan."

WUT.
New York alone has 140,000 cases and rising.

Anyone believe Wuhan has fewer?

Again, journalists really should do better than this.
"“Wuhan people experienced it firsthand,” said Yan Hui, a Wuhan native who recovered from the coronavirus. “Their friends got sick. Their friends and friends’ relatives died. Right before their eyes, one by one, they left us.”"

But only 3k people died? In city of 11 million?
Again, none of this makes sense. But journalists are perfectly happy taking the communist party's word for it.

And they wonder why we don't trust the press.
