It&＃039;s about how germ theory entered into the American household. Really puts our obsession with Purell and Clorox wipes into historical perspective." Wuhan Diary Wuhan Diary Corinna Treitel: "I am reading Fang Fang&＃039;s Wuhan Diary right now, and it is a very interesting account of the 76-day lockdown in Wuhan. Also worth seeing is the film by Ai Weiwei called Coronation. Both are very critical of the government&＃039;s response and help folks who cannot read Chinese understand what was happening on the ground."
