#Wuhan postcard: Kite-flying, #cat on leash smelling 🌸, city skyline along the #Yangtze, and #socialdistancing to the max 🐶🐯 #coronavirus #China ImageImageImageImage
More #Wuhan postcards: Entrance to Carrefour; makeshift takeout window through metal barrier; makeshift barrier, period - everything plus the kitchen sink; #Communist Party disaster relief tent (these are still everywhere) ImageImageImageImage
The #Yangtze River lit up at night; view from the Hankou side. A sealed path due to #coronavirus. And 2 signs letting everyone know there are no #COVID19 illnesses, fevers etc in this #epidemic-free compound for 30 consecutive days #Wuhan ImageImageImageImage
Above 📸 tidbits from a fascinating 10 days in #Wuhan as the city of 11m slowly lifted lockdowns. Not quite normal - people struggling to understand what happened, small biz owners barely staying afloat. Also kids in #hazmats (didn’t even know mini suits were manufactured..)
Mobility curbs remain: Only 1,000/day allowed #Wuhan-#Beijing via lottery system. @TelegraphWorld went by rail. Below: My ID + #train ticket + negative #coronavirus test results (valid within 7 days) being examined before allowed entry into station ImageImageImage
My fellow #Wuhan to #Beijing passengers (no social distancing at the train gate 🤷🏻‍♀️) + me continuing to file furiously 😂 (because the news never stops 😲) ImageImageImageImage
Upon arrival in #Beijing we were separated into clusters depending on the #city district you will do 14d #quarantine in - either at home or a government-arranged facility depending what your housing compound allows. Hazmat suits repeating “Haidian District,” calling for people
Then we were shuttled to register personal details - down to which train seat you were in - before being escorted in small groups straight to our #quarantine doors. All arrivals #Beijing - domestic or international (tho #China banning foreigners from entry) - must q for 14 days ImageImageImage
At my door there is now an alarm 🛎! If I open, it pings person responsible for those in home q in bldg. I know bc I put my trash out the 1st evening (for collection from my door daily 8a) & immediately got msg about opening door. I explained - was fine - but wow! In real-time!
Also sign on door informing my neighbours of #quarantine situation. Must report temp 2x/day. So send recs for recipes, books, movies, podcasts. Have already organised all cabinets.. When I’m out, you can be sure I will be🏃🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤾🏻‍♀️⛹🏻‍♀️🏇🏻⛰🏝🚲🙌 (Below throwback to #Beijing hike) Image
