Life in the time of coronavirus

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, is on the brink of becoming a global pandemic.  Across much of China, travel is restricted and residents remain in their homes, and the economy is taking a big hit at local, national, and even global levels. 

Gathered here are images from Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai, and other locations in China over the past two weeks, as residents continue to cope with the virus outbreak.

How do you relate to these pictures?
