    Every journalist knows that a single death is a tragedy, a million a statistic. 68,000 people have recovered from the coronavirus outbreak, while nearly 5,000 have died. and I zoom in on two of them: two 29-yr-old female medical workers from Wuhan.

    I am blown away by readers. In the middle of a global health crisis in which many people have lost jobs and are struggling to feed their own families, dozens of readers have reached out about donating to these kids. Thanks all.

    This is my last story for WSJ from China. By far the most difficult and emotionally painful story I’ve ever done. If you can please read it and know the devastating human toll of the coronavirus, not just on Wuhan but more and more around the world.

    The day that Wuhan locked down, Li Song and her family dined together and toasted to their health and happiness. Then one by one, they started falling ill. A heartbreaking story about one family’s loss:

    This Taiwan story I wrote in 2015 was copy edited by Alan Finder, who just passed away from the coronavirus. I saw ⁦⁩ posted a story of hers that he edited. It seems like a nice way for reporters to honor his life.

    This piece about India's lockdown is devastating. "In a place full of daily laborers and casual workers, it was the restrictions, more than the virus, that scared them. 'All I’m thinking about right now is how to put food in my children’s stomachs.'"

    The pace of this coronavirus news is unlike anything I've experienced in 30-plus years in the racket. It's like an earthquake happening every single day, day after day, with no end in sight. Have a good thought for the reporters. They are busting their asses.

    I asked my grandma, who escaped North Korea as the Korean War broke out, how her corona quarantine in Seoul compares to her war experience and got an EARFUL: “WHAT we were getting bombed on every day during the war, now I sit in my house all day with WiFi!!”

    One of the most painful lessons of this crisis is the extent to which America cannot or will not identify with Chinese pain. Every horror that is happening here happened first in Wuhan. We covered it. Many people did not care.

    The fact that Singapore’s govt has shut down almost everything except schools and daycares shows their solid grasp of a fundamental Econ principle: Hours x childcare = F (Labour x productivity) And for that, I am beyond grateful 🙏🏻

    I searched my inbox to see the last time I got an email from Alan Finder. It was Feb. 25 when he second-edited a story by and me on the W.H.O. warning the world that it was not ready for a coronavirus outbreak. Gutted.

    Alan Finder was a mentor to many of us on Metro, the go-to sage on city governance. I have an award engraved with our names somewhere, and a stack of VHS tapes from being on his weekly NY1 news show. He was cool, smart, and so generous; the perfect colleague. Crushing.

    “People walking past us on the sidewalk don’t know that we are visitors from the future. A vision, a premonition, a walking visitation. This will be them: Either T, in the mask, or — if they’re lucky — me, tending to him.” A gutting story by

    This story is very good and extremely important. What really turned the tide in Wuhan, he shows, was more aggressive and systematic quarantine.
