I live in China. I have read many horror stories out of Wuhan, China after the local hospital got overloaded with patient.

1. People got infected couldn't be treated and had to stay home. See this video that the daughter of a sick mom trying to get attention by drumming in the balcony and crying for help. "My mom is dying and I am helpless" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuvA0XooI5c

2. people with long term illness or scheduled surgery couldn't be treated, such as leukemia patient need dialysis, because Major hospitals has directed all resources to treat coronavirus patients.

Work from home, cancel meetings, stay away from the crowd.

Wash hands, wear mask if you have to go out.

Get medical advice from your doctors ASAP if you fall into the second category.

Please get prepared for the worse and don't let this happen to you and your loved ones.

EDITED: add a youtube video

Thanks for sharing your experience. My Mom is undergoing Chemotherapy, with a surgery scheduled in April. She has pancreatic cancer, which is a very tough cancer. They caught it early, and we were hopeful - until Covid 19. Now we have no idea how many delays, etc to expect.

Best wishes to you from an American. We're in this together!
