From a correspondent 'jf': "Xian [in Shanxi province] is in a panic. The universities are blockaded by police - no one in - on one out. Panic buying in the supermarkets. Everyone wearing masks - masks all sold out. But even more than that, their co-workers said that if they [jf's friends] leave Xian and return they don't want to have anything to do with them. They say it is very bizarre.
