    I think you should atleast open the link and check the video description and comments. Probably it might surprise you.

    It was a pleasant surprise, yes, though less pleasant was they didn’t seem to talk to any expats in Wuhan proper. That’s a damned peculiar oversight.

      I guess they all just tried to avoid contact during those times? Not sure. However, all their work is basically remotely done in video. Nobody sensible wanted to risk getting COVID.

        The CBC managed to interview a self-serving Canuckistani who was flexing how “brave” he was for not abandoning his family in Wuhan when the Canadian government sent evacuation flights, but not for dependent Chinese nationals. If an outfit as incompetent as the CBC can manage to track down an expat to interview, why couldn’t professional vloggers with boots-on-the-ground contact networks?

          The “brave” part seems to have done its job in that case. People that go out of their way to socialise meet more people, is the primitive principle I can think of.
