      All those Weibo posts coming out of Wuhan have made the new year so depressing: A woman said her mother had fever but could not find a hospital that would admit her or test her for #coronovirus. She had become too sick to move now.pic.twitter.com/2odCz3bg6L

      A medical worker said both her husband and she were having fever. They wanted to separate from their 2-year-old and 4-month-old children. But with the city locked down, their relative could not travel in to help with childcare.pic.twitter.com/VASfBk6zA4

      A medical worker said she was told to only wear two layers of surgical masks at a hospital for fever patients. Had instant noodles for two days bc there’s no delivery service to hospitals. She also saw medical waste in lifts. (a day later she said the canteen started running)pic.twitter.com/CInCZQ5wPG

Later he said that the grandpa got tested for the virus after pulling guanxi. He’s now in self-quarantine.pic.twitter.com/NATLpvh5qS

          A now-deleted post by a (self-proclaimed) nurse said medical workers were told to sign non-disclosure agreements. Hospitals were running out of manpower/beds and refusing to test patients for the virus. Her husband had been having fever for 8 days but couldn’t be admitted.pic.twitter.com/CrpZgxpayh

          Unverified video - a woman says “these 3 bodies have been here since the morning. Some died in the middle of the night. Doctors, nurses and patients have been working in this sort of environment at the hospitals. Those in charge can’t help with anything.” #WuhanCoronovirus pic.twitter.com/Xjk38sQTOK
