There's clearly a western bias to the fact that before Covid the only thing that non-Chinese people knew about Wuhan, if anything (and I'm including myself in that), is that it's the Detroit of the Chinese music scene. I asked a colleague from Wuhan about it once and she said she had never heard anything about it at all.

That said, this morning Google Nest read me some variation of this story about how the indie live houses opening up again, and I was just glad that there was a national news story about Wuhan that was about anything other than Covid -- I guess this does also count as a "life getting back to normal" Covid story, but I'll take it.

    I want NYCs live houses to be reopening, if only we had a responsible and reasonable governing body that felt the safety of it’s people is more important than the flow of capital :deeper-sadness:
