In Wuhan – the origin location of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic – locals say that the city’s 11-week coronavirus lockdown caused severe “trauma†to both the urban center’s economy and its residents’ collective psyche, contradicting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda suggesting that the capital of Hubei province has returned to a pre-pandemic normal.Despite recent attempts by the CCP to tout Wuhan’s supposed recovery “as proof its authoritarian coronavirus response is superior to that of Western democracies like the United States,†the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Tuesday that recent “interviews with dozens of local [Wuhan] residents show deep psychological scars and economic damage may take months, if not years, to repair.â€According to the report, “Wuhan’s gross domestic product contracted 20 percent in the first half of the year†after a CCP-imposed lockdown designed to curb the spread of coronavirus brought the capital’s economy to a grinding halt for at least 76 days at the start of 2020. CCP authorities eased lockdown restrictions in Wuhan – which included sealing residents inside their homes – starting on April 7. Now, nearly 150 days later, local hotel manager Wang Dandan told the SCMP that her business’s profits are still so low that she cannot afford to pay her rent.
Wuhan Locals on Coronavirus Lockdown: ‘The Trauma Is So Deep’https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/09/02/wuhan-locals-coronavirus-lockdown-trauma-deep/China's lock-down was much more sweeping that anything done in the US. Thus its negative effects have been and are worse. The near-total lock-down probably also blocked the natural process of developing "herd immunity", leaving China more vulnerable to new outbreaks, "domestic" and by re-importation.
Impossible. China says only 34 Wuhanians died.
