My nephew is entrenched there, in or near Shanghai, since I think 2015.
It was his dream to join the diplomatic corp and studied China and their languages in high school including 6 months there as an exchange student.
He flat refused his very liberal Portland and now Bend OR parents' efforts and the purchased flight home in late February, said no problem being American there and free heathcare if he got sick so he was just going to wait it out in his apt and teach his students online.
My brother said he was fine in early March when he related the above, acted like they were worried for no reason... but has gone radio silence to our Mom and with anything family related online since then. I fear they don't have any contact fromtheir only child since but are afraid to say that in any communications. And no one wants to ask.
I suppose my Mom's tart he chose to stay in the bed he made rather than be smart or careful is still true. But I truly fear the worst of got sick and no message allowed to be sent out of China- or he got taken away as a foreigner when things got really bad there.
