When the United States tabled a proposal to evacuate personnel from its Wuhan consulate, China makes arrangements accordingly and provided assistance and facilitation to the U.S. side in line with international practice and China's relevant provisions on epidemic prevention.

You people are destroying my adulthood. How dare you!?

SARS killed about 800 worldwide. I wonder how many will die simply because the city has been sealed off from the outside world.

Not sure how seriously to take this, but a Freeper mentioned a tweeted video by a masked lady in Wuhan who said the Wuhan dead alone are 90,000 strong:
