I returned to my hometown Xiaogan, a small town 70km from Wuhan, before the lunar New Year. Now:

• Coronavirus sickens 24,363; 491 have died in China

• All the major roads around have been blocked for over 10 days; my families didn’t leave the house

• The official report of infectious disease suggested that it’s still out of control within Hubei

• Supplies will last another 2wk;

• I’m scheduling my work at home
