Now coming out of a loudspeaker in my compound: the most effective measure against the epidemic is for you to stay home; the biggest contribution you could make to the society is to stay home. Even though the weather is nice, do not go out!

Villages near my home in Zhejiang have set up checkpoints to stop visitors from entering. At one place the entrance is blocked by a truck and a bamboo pole.

Videos circulating on WeChat and Weibo of people in shouting "Wuhan, add oil" out their windows and singing the Chinese national anthem together. A message going around asking ppl to do it together starting at 8pm.

A boardcast message from dad’s hometown in rural Zhejiang asking people to stay home during the coronavirus outbreak. (This is one of the most difficult dialects in my region. Have been hearing it every year for 20+ years, but still understand less than 30%)

Weibo users in many provinces say their villages have been put under lockdown (people banned from entering or leaving) to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. Village leaders announced it with loudspeakers or by ringing gongs. Some have set up roadblocks.

Three Wuhan deaths not counted in coronavirus tally, even when doctors described so, families said. Beijing vowed to punish underreporting, be it delay or omission. My interviews by phone.

- if possible, follow more chn-lang sources before jumping to conclusions; - also, DOCUMENT the shit out of all you come across on chn interet/media because, despite the vibrancy we are seeing right now, they could all disappear in a blink of an eye.

more healthcare workers are on the brink of breakdown both physically and mentally. I’ve since in several videos they’re crying as they don’t have enough food, protective gear, masks, goggles, and public transport that take them back home.

A now-deleted post by a (self-proclaimed) nurse said medical workers were told to sign non-disclosure agreements. Hospitals were running out of manpower/beds and refusing to test patients for the virus. Her husband had been having fever for 8 days but couldn’t be admitted.
