American resident of Wuhan says life getting back to normal: 'The situation is greatly improving'

Life at the epicenter of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been "greatly improving," San Francisco native and Wuhan, China resident Doug Perez said Tuesday.

Appearing on "Fox & Friends First" with host Jillian Mele, Perez said that at the beginning of the outbreak he faced a "lot of hardship," but in the past few weeks "the situation has transformed dramatically."

"Yesterday, for example, we only had one new case of coronavirus — one confirmed case in Wuhan," said Perez. "So, the situation is greatly improving recently. And, we're optimistic that we're almost through it over here."

However, Perez noted that a quarantine is still in effect in Wuhan — as are a lot of restrictions for its residents.

"That being said, we're still dependent on deliveries and the delivery services have been very reliable. Recently we can access even fast-food services via delivery. Everything comes within an hour," he explained.

"So, actually, the situation has been improving a lot and life's starting to return to normal a bit recently. So, we're actually really happy about that," he told Mele. "But, prior to that, it was much worse."

Perez said that going to the grocery store was a constant struggle. But, even when you got there, they wouldn't let people in — experiences that were mentally "very tough" for him.

"My advice would be, of course, to stock up and be safe. Wash your hands," he cautioned. "But, I think if you keep a positive mindset and you focus on making it through it. Not leaving the house — complying with the quarantine. I'm really confident that the U.S. will make it through it."

Mr Trump said of the pandemic team that “some of the people we’ve cut they haven’t been used for many, many years and if we ever need them we can get them very quickly and rather then spending the money”.

 

Look at all the money he saved!

How much do you think ESPN paid Brady to announce he was leaving the Patriots? Gives them at least a few days of coverage.

I’m having a difficult time predicting Blarg’s response to this for some reason.

You guys, Trump was the only Republican running in 2016. They had to vote for him in primaries.

Hillary.  Always Hillary.

this will also be his reason for voting Trump in 2020.

At least Hillary was forced on the dem voters. That speaks very poorly of the DNC and our institutions. 

Meanwhile, the people who voted for Trump (particularly in primaries) 100% chose this absolute asshole over a field of 17, nearly as large a selection as the frequently mocked quantity the Dems had running this year.

So yeah, f@*& the DNC, but also screw Trump.

Yes, but every time I see anybody making a post about H1N1 relative to this and how disappointing the initial response to this has been (when it didn't have to be), it blows my mind. The failure to test early while saying that it was actually happening is really bad.

They are not comparable.

So was in the grocery store.  And besides the barren shelves.  There was one customer.  Long pants.  Long sleeve sweater.  Gloves on.  Scarf around mouth.  Glasses on.  Beanie covering head.  With enough groceries to feed Rhode Island.  I was tempted to sneeze next to her and see what she did.

Price tag for response package now $1 trillion, source says

From CNN's Manu Raju

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is pitching senators on a first wave of checks to Americans worth $250 billion, a source familiar tells CNN.

If the economy needs it, Mnuchin is proposing, there would be a second wave several weeks later, according to the source.

The source also says the price tag for the response package is now $1 trillion, although this is an estimate and could change.
