YouTube Description

This is Robin. He has been posting videos of his life in coronavirus epicenter Wuhan, China.
China reported 406 new cases from the coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 78,064 on Wednesday. China’s death toll rose by 52 to 2,715, with all the fatalities occurring in Hubei province.
A total of 29,745 patients have been discharged from hospitals since the outbreak, the commission said.
Hubei province, where the outbreak originated, reported 401 additional confirmed cases.
U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo criticized China and Iran’s response to the coronavirus, saying that suppression of information about the infection may have made the outbreak worse or put other countries on the back foot.
“The United States is deeply concerned that the Iranian regime may have suppressed vital details about the outbreak in that country,” Pompeo said at a press conference in Washington. At least 15 people in Iran are dead, authorities there have said, though there are reports of higher numbers and hundreds of potential cases.
Pompeo also criticized Chinese authorities, after the government said it would expel three Wall Street Journal reporters. In the province of Hubei, where the outbreak began, some early warnings of a new virus were initially suppressed.
“Expelling our journalists exposes once again the government’s issue that led to SARS, and now the coronavirus -- namely censorship. It can have deadly consequences. Had China permitted its own and foreign journalists and medical personnel to speak and investigate freely, Chinese officials and other nations would have been far better prepared to address the challenge.”
