Wuhan "closed city" people snapped up food, a cabbage soared to 50 yuan

The epidemic of new coronavirus pneumonia continues to spread. Wuhan, which has the largest number of confirmed cases, will close the departure corridors of airports and train stations from 10 am today (23rd). Public transportation and long-distance passenger transport are temporarily suspended. Reason not to leave Wuhan.

It is reported that after Wuhan "closed the city", local supermarkets experienced a surge in purchases and food prices skyrocketed. A Chinese cabbage even rose to more than 50 yuan (RMB, the same below).

According to online news, after the official announcement of "closing the city," a rush of buying has occurred in Wuhan, and fresh food prices in supermarkets have increased sharply, but they have been snapped up.


Comment: 50 Yuan = $7.21USD for a head of cabbage.

This is going to be a nightmare in those cities. There better be a plan to get supplies in to these closed cities.
