It has been a hard road, testing, wearing masks, respecting social distance and washing their hands. They don't have Trump leading the wrong way with Malaria drugs and other snake oils. Dancers are bringing Saturday night fever back to Wuhan as the lock down is being relaxed. The people have been very cooperative and they are dancing once again on a Saturday night by the side of the Yangtze river, which winds through the central Chinese city where the novel coronavirus pandemic began. We almost had it made in Hawaii, but we opened too soon and permitted tourists from the Mainland.
Tourists from the mainland are the ones most likely to be contaminated than any others in this entire world. Yes, because of Trump. Most countries do not permit Americans into their countries anymore. Wuhan residents are now beginning to dance their worries away. The city is slowly getting back on its feet, hopeful that the worst is passed, but worried by the emergence last week of a few fresh cases on the virus. While most large indoor gatherings are still banned, people are reclaiming their daily lives and hobbies, which in many parts of China includes “square dancing” or "line dances," usually in the evenings in public squares, plazas or parks.

| May I have this dance? |
On Saturday night, over a hundred masked people can dance on an open-air riverside walkway in central Wuhan as loudspeakers blare out everything from electronic dance music to Japanese pop. Some waltzed in pairs. Others may move in sync to choreographed dance routines. All wear masks and mostly kept apart. It’s may be hard to breathe when wearing this mask to dance and you can’t get rid of the perspiration, but the mood is great, and you can finally gather with your fellow dancers, Stay safe folks and we shall dance again on Oahu.
"Social dancers believe that dance is the joy of movement to music and the heart of life."
