Wan Qian felt perfectly healthy when examined after his mother-in-law was confirmed infected with the new coronavirus. Test results were a surprise: The whole family, including his wife and daughter, had contracted the disease. But hospitals in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, were almost full. “We didn’t stand a chance...to be admitted to hospital and treated under isolation,” said Mr Wan, 45.
