The coronavirus situation in Wuhan appears to be much worse than we have been led to believe.
NTD Television conducted an investigation and found that many Wuhan citizens have been seemingly left to die.
One citizen, Miss Sun, told NTD that her family of four lives in Wuhan. She said there are no beds left in the hospital and they will not accept any more cases.
She added that her 50-year-old mother was tested for the virus at the hospital but all the hospital beds were already full.
The hospitals are overcrowded and there are patients collapsing to the floor and dying. She said people have been smuggling themselves out of Wuhan to Hunan, a nearby province not yet under lockdown.
