In Shanghai, Beijing , Shenzhen. Fuzhou , Guanzhou and basically the whole country are and were scared and just stayed home. As I mentioned I know people who refuse to let their children out of their house in 3 months, not even to get fresh air. In my opinion, at least in the beginning I do not think Americans were taking this seriously or didn't realize how bad it was in China. It is bizarre to see the news because a lot of what I am seeing it says that life is slowly getting back to normal in China. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Yes, in some areas it is true but not in the bigger cities.... Life will never be normal, anywhere in the world, in my opinon.
