4443 On January 23rd, the Chinese government ordered people in Wuhan, where the new coronavirus was first discovered, not to leave the city, effectively putting it on lockdown. 在1月23日，在发现新冠病毒爆发后，中国政府正式宣布武汉“封城”，城中居民一律不得离开。
4444 It was a tough decision to make, and China took it in less than three days after it became evident that human-to-human transmission had occurred. 这是一个艰难的抉择，但中国在确定新冠肺炎可以造成人际传播之后，仅仅三天之内就做出了这个决定。
4445 At the time, no one knew what the consequences would look like. 在当时，没人知道后果会怎么样。
4446 You can see that Hubei Province is in the center of China, and Wuhan is a city of more than FOURTEEN million people. 从地图里可以看到，湖北省处于中国地理位置的正中，而武汉是有超过一千四百万人口的大城市。
4447 Keep in mind that Wuhan was quarantined just ONE day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, which fell on January 24th. 还有一个重要的时间节点：武汉“封城正好发生在中国除夕夜前一天，1月24日就是除夕了。
4448 That time coincides with Chunyun, the world's largest annual human migration, with three billion trips expected during that month as people returned home to celebrate the new year with their loved ones... 当时也正值春运时期，世界上最大的年度人口流动就在春运期间，一月之间大约可能有将近三十亿次往返客流，全国上下回老家团聚，之后返岗工作。
4449 So imagine what would have happened if China had not made that decision. 所以设想一下，如果当时中国没有做出“封城”决定的话，后果会怎么样。
