Outside a Wuhan hospital, people leave garlands of flowers and farewell notes by a picture of Li Wenliang, the late doctor and whistle-blower who first raised the alarm about Covid-19 infections in the central Chinese city, where the novel coronavirus first emerged, and later succumbed to the disease.
A volunteer psychologist braves infection to counsel distressed patients in the city, only to be told on the phone of her father’s terminal lung cancer diagnosis.
A heavily pregnant young woman, anxious and worn out by the lockdown in Wuhan, jokingly threatens to kill her husband if he cannot buy a cot when most shops are shut.
