No one is telling us how people in China are surviving for such a time, especially when their apartment building entrances are boarded up by officials so they have to remain in place.

Why would they not allow the U.S. in to help if they really want to save lives?

Heaven only knows what is really going on in those boarded-up apartment buildings and quarantined cities.

Praying for those poor Chinese people.

I would venture to guess that it has something to do with the concept of "saving face".

To accept help from the US, would be a loss of face in the Asian mindset, thus an admission of weakness.
