Just lucky you are in a small town like Burnley.Only 11 million people in your neck of the woods,easy to lockdown such a small place.
It's not easy to find bat soup and snake over here,you are lucky to be able to find such delicious delicacies,I'vs searched through all the numbers on the local Chinese takeaway and they are not to be found.

Over 600 Chinese tourists who had entered the country on separate flights from the Chinese city of Wuhan must return home as scheduled in their package tours, giving them no time to extend their stay or to visit other parts of the Philippines.

We live a long way away from China but we are now realising how serious this is.There have been some light hearted comments on this thread,including mine,but in reality we are very sympathetic and concerned.Having been to China I don't think a lot of people over here realise the scale of everything over there,I certainly didn't before I went a couple of years ago.The British Government frequently make a mess of running this relatively wealthy small island of ours with a population of 65 million or so.Problems we may have are insignificant compared to China with it's size and a population of 1 billion with a completely different culture.We admire your spirit in moving there and integrating.Keep us informed of the real situation,our thoughts are with you.

It looks like we have 2 cases of the virus.
Two hospitalized with coronavirus symptoms
A 60-year-old woman was admitted into a Tel Aviv hospital Sunday four days after she returned from China, exhibiting symptoms of a respiratory illness and fever.
A Chinese man, employed as an agricultural worker near Sderot was admitted to hospital in the southern city of Ashkelon Sunday with symptoms that could indicate he contracted the coronavirus. He too is in an isolation ward awaiting test results.
