Wuhan demonstrated incredible resilience against the coronavirus as businesses and society got into action to fight the outbreak, say East Asian ...
These Internet giants have pledged further investments into the city as it lifted the lockdown restrictions this past week.
People not working during this period channelled their efforts towards aiding the city’s fight against the coronavirus.Private help — either emotional or material — from friends or family members staying in Wuhan also shored up the city’s resilience during this difficult period. A total of 344 medical teams have been sent to Wuhan and other cities in Hubei, involving 11,416 doctors and 28,679 nurses, according to local news reports. Remarkably, about 10 per cent of China’s total workforce in the intensive care units was dispatched to Hubei.
Like hospitals, grass-roots organisations had been overwhelmed by a flood of requests for help but were able to re-group when more manpower and goods were deployed to the frontlines. The virus has imprinted varying degrees of trauma on the population, with some losing family members or close friends, many more infected, and the vast majority reeling from this lockdown.
