Wuhan China lockdown situation
Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province, is home to over 11 million people. It is currently the largest city in Hubei as well as one of 9 Chinese central cities. Wuhan is considered the primary transportation hub connecting major cities in the region. It also plays important roles in Chinese culture, politics, education and economy.
Since its lockdown a week ago because of coronavirus outbreak, all transports here have been cancelled, even private vehicles.
Only medical transports are allowed to support ill residents.
Many say that Wuhan looks like a ghost city these days while some even posted fake videos showing zombie-like scenes on the streets.
Coronaviruses turn dynamic Wuhan to a lifeless city?
The answer is no.
Wuhan residents find various ways to encourage themselves and together get through the tough time. While being confined to their home, these Chinese people set a trend of doing all amusing things right in their living rooms.
Playing badminton, playing ping pong, dancing or even fishing, all kinds of activities can be found on Weibo videos. Meanwhile, some others immediately adopt their sedentary lifestyle.
“I’ve stayed at home for 5 days. Everyday, apart from eating, I’m sleeping. I slept so much that my back and my neck hurt.”
Having said that, strained healthcare system and many other problems are unavoidable in Wuhan right now, putting the city under a very unusual situation.
