"I'm In An Apocalypse" - New Accounts From Wuhan Detail Coronavirus Outbreak

Global equity markets are taking a beating on Thursday as the death toll climbs to 170 from 132, with 7,711 cases of coronavirus confirmed in China and 7,814 worldwide.
The developments over the last several weeks could force the World Health Organization (WHO) to issue a global alert over the alarming infection rate of the deadly virus.
Evidence shows the virus can be transmitted from person to person before any signs or symptoms, which is one of the reasons why the WHO could soon declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), as the virus spreads across the world.
Dozens of cities are shut down across China, more than 50 million folks are quarantined to their homes, and experts have warned there's no vaccine for at least one year, suggests the deadly virus will continue to spread across China and the world.

Airline carriers started to cut flights to and from China on Wednesday. Western companies have announced factory and retail store closings across the country, and this will likely result in a massive loss of business that could produce an economic shock felt around the world.
Late last week, a Wuhan nurse made an emotional video on social media, claiming more than 90,000 have already been infected.

On Wednesday, the Epoch Times tweeted an interview with a Wuhan citizen, who says people in the outbreak areas "can't get any medical treatments" nor "a diagnosis" because hospitals are overloaded with patients. He said people "sit and wait to die."

"Imagine being a Wuhan citizen…they can't get any medical treatments, they can't even get a diagnosis. They can only sit and wait to die."

He warned that transmission of the deadly virus isn't just "oral" but also "through the eyes."

He said the government isn't telling the truth about symptoms, because in many cases, there are no symptoms as people spread the disease during the incubation period, which could be 7 to 10 days before signs are seen.
Another perspective of life in Wuhan is nothing short of an "apocalypse," said 21-year-old US-born college student Nicholas Schneider, who was interviewed by Reuters on Wednesday.
RTRS Schneider interview "It's like a ghost town, barely any people and cars. It's a weird feeling. I feel like I'm in an apocalypse somehow," Schneider said via a phone interview.
It's only a matter of time before cities outside of China are locked down on coronavirus fears as there's no vaccine for 12 months.

The U.S. State Department has placed U.S. diplomatic staff and their families in China on "authorized departure," meaning they are permitted to leave the country amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Driving the news: Approximately 210 U.S. citizens were evacuated Wednesday from Wuhan, where the outbreak began and has spread most widely. The virus has killed at least 171 people in China and infected over 8,000, and was declared a Global Health Emergency on Thursday by the World Health Organization.

A State Department spokesperson told Axios the "authorized departure" notice applied to "all non-emergency U.S. government employees at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the consulates general in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenyang."

• "As needed, the State Department will review the authorized departure status of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the consulates general in China," the official said, noting that consulate staff in Wuhan are under "ordered departure."
• "The Department of State made the decision to put the U.S. Embassy and consulates general on authorized departure status out of an abundance of caution related to logistical disruptions stemming from restricted transportation and availability of appropriate health care related to the novel coronavirus," the official said.
• "The U.S. Embassy and consulates general across China will continue to provide consular services, as resources allow."

Between the lines: The decision is one step down from an order for personnel to leave the country.
