WISCONSIN (SPECTRUM NEWS) —Back in February we brought you a story about a Neenah family who was separated due to the coronavirus. A mom and her two children were in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak at the time. They are now back home and are seeing the virus take its toll on the US.

Daisy and her two daughters have already made it through the initial coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China. Now, they are back home and seeing the US take on this deadly virus.
“For me the first time we were not together and it was much harder,” Daisy Roth said.
She says things seem a little more relaxed in the US compared to her time in Wuhan before traveling home.
“Here people are defiantly more relaxed. The main thing I noticed is people keeping the social distance. I noticed that while we are walking with our kids to the river people still say hello but not like before,” Roth said.
She says in Wuhan they were under much stricter orders to not leave their homes. She says there were security guards at her apartment so no one could leave.
“In Wuhan we really could not get out of the apartment so it definitely feels different. We were inside and watching the news all day so life was definitely much more intense there,” Roth said,
Daisy is from Wuhan and still has family there. She says her family is just starting to be able to come out of lockdown and her father has been going to work for a month now since his job is essential.
“The whole city is starting to open ip pretty soon. Not the air traffic but road traffic, busses, and probably railroad soon. People can drive cars to go to different districts in the whole city,” Roth said.
She says her family there is feeling healthy and relieved this pandemic is slowly becoming more under control.
