Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
How many in Beijing or Shanghai got it?From what I am reading online, Wikipedia for a quick look at the demographics, Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei Province, is the largest city of Hubei with a population of about 11 million people.
From Wiki:
"It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and expressways passing through the city and connecting to other major cities.[25] Because of its key role in domestic transportation, Wuhan is sometimes referred to as "the Chicago of China" by foreign sources."
So no, it's not isolated by any means and seems largely connected to other major cities. But I can appreciate how different cultures could play a role in the rate of spread. That's a good point. I haven't sought out the numbers related to the spread in Wuhan mostly because it's unknown if any information coming out of China is accurate or not. Can it be trusted?
