[An article from the New York Post](https://nypost.com/2020/03/11/china-shuts-all-16-temporary-coronavirus-hospitals-in-wuhan/) claiming that the last of the temporary Coronavirus hospitals in Wuhan have been shut down.

This was listed by someone on my FB feed as good news. I have a hard time believing any news reporting coming from China, at the moment.
