Update: Five new cases in Wuhan, the city of about 11M people where the virus originated, according to yesterday's Reuters report. Only five cases after lifting the lockdown about a month ago - an isolated cluster at that. Zero would be better, but five doesn't seem nearly as bad as a lot of people here are expecting.

Excerpt: "BEIJING (Reuters) - Wuhan reported its first cluster of coronavirus infections since a lockdown on the city, the epicentre of the outbreak in China, was lifted a month ago, stoking concerns of a wider resurgence. The five new confirmed cases, all from the same residential compound, come amid efforts to ease restrictions across China as businesses restart and individuals get back to work...New confirmed cases reported in China since April have been low compared with the thousands every day in February."

It's not clear if this is the first instance of *any* new cases since the end of the lockdown, or if this is the first instance of a "cluster."

South Korea seemed to be doing fairly well after lifting the restrictions until that one nightclub patron spread the virus to 86 other people.
