Wuhan coronavirus: People in China turn on government as crisis worsens - Business Insider

Medical staff, in Wuhan, China, during a coronavirus outbreak that has pushed the city to breaking point.Friday and Saturday are meant to be the most festive days of China's year. Instead they are stalked by fear and anxiety.

Novel coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV as it is known scientifically, has killed 41, sickened nearly 1,300, and spread to 12 countries. "Can you please send a responsible leader to Hubei?" reads a comment on the Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo, the Guardian reported, seemingly calling for China's central Communist Party to intervene from Beijing.

The virus is thought to have originated at a wet market in Wuhan, a city of roughly 11 million in the Hubei province. The first case was reported in December. Officials initially said the virus could not be transmitted from human to human. Screenings were also not immediately put into place.Kevin Frayer/Getty ImagesOn Monday, President Xi Jinping stressed "the importance of informing the public to safeguard social stability." Major attractions including Disneyland in Shanghai and the Forbidden City were closed, and Lunar New Year celebrations were cancelled.

In 2002 and 2003, the SARS epidemic sickened 8,000 and killed 744 — an outbreak that was also born in China. The government largely tried to cover up the illness until a whistleblower revealed the true scale of the disease.
