Thread: Coronavirus Pummels #Wuhan, a City Short of Supplies and Overwhelmed

It is nearly impossible to get the care they need to treat, or even diagnose, the coronavirus, say residents at the crisis’ center
nytimes.com/2020/02/02/wor…
Weak with fever, An Jianhua waited in line for 7 hours outside the hospital in the cold, hoping to get tested for the new coronavirus, which doctors suspected she had contracted.
Ms. An, 67, needed an official diagnosis from a hospital to qualify for treatment, but the one she went to last week had no space, even to test her. The next hospital was full, too. They finally got an intravenous drip for Ms. An’s fever, but that was all.
