Coronavirus outbreak: US citizen says she's angry and scared

A US citizen trapped at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China described her fear of living in a city that's cut off from the rest of the country by transport restrictions.

Teacher Diana Adama has been living in Wuhan city for three months of her 15 years in China. Wuhan is the ground zero for a new deadly strain of coronavirus -- with about 1,000 Americans living in the city.

More than 50 people are dead -- all in China -- as the Wuhan coronavirus continues to spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world. Nearly 2,000 cases have been confirmed in mainland China.

"I woke up feeling quite desperate, sad, angry. Most of this is because of lack of information, and lack of knowing what's going on," she said.

I try not to share anything about the virus, I can't verify. There is a video floating around of a lady, with a guy wearing a mask, she speaks Chinese and then to my surprise segued into perfect english, it was about the man getting her the help she needed, I believe it was food related.
