Some people, however, weren't happy with the way the government is handling the situation. "We listened to everything officials told us to do. We were so obedient," said a Wuhan resident in an interview with NPR. They said [to] go into isolation, so we sent [my aunt and my mother] into isolation wards. But let me tell you what these wards really are; they are places where you send people to die by themselves."
