Hubei, China Roars Back to Life After a Two-Month Coronavirus Quarantine & Lockdown

 Hope for the West today comes in the form of this news report from Reuters. There is an end in sight with this horrible, evil, Coronavirus situation. Hubei China is back to normal after a government lockdown more than two months ago. People are again taking the buses and metros and have returned to normal life, hanging out in the parks, going to restaurants and reporting to their jobs. The children are particularly happy no doubt to be able to go out and play again.

It seems the biggest threat to their continued recovery is people coming in from the outside so even though the city has now lifted the travel restrictions for its 60 million inhabitants who were at the epicenter of this virus when it first broke out in the country and world (Wuhan China is the capital of Hubei and the first coronavirus covid 19 cases reported in the world were in Wuhan - which led US president Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to get into a blame game about whose fault the virus was), people who travel to Hubei are still subject to medical checks and they are required to inform the government if they have indeed been to a high risk country.

The city of Wuhan itself is still under quarantine, however the government is expected to lift the restrictions on April 8, 2020.
 "The lockdown of Hubei’s capital Wuhan will be lifted on April 8, a milestone in China’s war against the epidemic as Beijing shifts its focus toward stemming imported cases and rebooting the economy."

The big task now is going to be rebooting the economy, according to Reuters. Let's see how the Chinese leadership make their comeback. But all in all, this is good news for everyone around the world, not just in China. It means there is an end in sight and we all just have to hold tight till the end arrives.
