Hong Kong (CNN)In the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where cases of the novel coronavirus were first detected late last year, the mood was one of triumph this week, as residents finally emerged from months of lockdown.

This was reflected in state media, as the city which once characterized China's failures to contain the coronavirus now symbolized the country's recovery, in stark contrast to the chaos that is rapidly unfolding in much of the rest of the world.

But under that confident facade, there were signs of a concern felt across Asia: that any recovery from the virus may be fleeting, and a new wave of infections -- and the lockdowns, death and misery that follow in their wake -- may be just over the horizon.

1. This is going to be every Country, every city, every town, every state. The decisions that they ...

make, and that their citizens make, will determine whether they literally live or die.

We're seeing the fruits of those states that take the aggressive steps to counter the CV and stop it, and we'll see the fruits of those states that don't take any aggressive steps what-so-ever.

My worry? That my state/city will be located next to a state that doesn't give a crap about anyone.

Fortunately, there are backlashes already happening to those municipalities that chose to ignore even the most basic steps to stifle the impact of the CV. Residents are getting angry w/ officials who seem to be so nonchalant w/ their residents' lives. I don't blame them.

Maybe it's time to kick these government officials (town/state/etc.) to the curb and pick some better people instead?
