Reporter’s Notebook: What Two Months of Reporting Has Taught Caixin About the Coronavirus

From Wuhan to all of China, Caixin Media has published six cover stories over the last month and a half in its weekly Chinese magazine. These features and investigations piece together what we have learned about the new coronavirus at various stages, detailing the shifting public health response, and the costs behind all of it.

I have translated and rewritten most of these cover stories into English. These stories offer lessons — paid for dearly both economically and socially in China — that might be of use to other countries now battling their own outbreaks.
