Story: I have a friend in Wuhan...her dad is infected

We don’t talk much and she told me she “isn’t allowed” to say much over the phone because “they’ll know”. Weird??? But her dad is infected and not receiving medical help. Nobody can leave their homes & they have minimal amounts of food. She said it’s much much worse than it seems. She also said that they’ve known about corona virus since NOVEMBER, and that the government just never said anything.
She seemed really scared to even be mentioning it...it seemed so weird to me.
UPDATE: I live in Los Angeles...shes originally from Wuhan but goes to school in LA and got trapped there over break.
