"Scrapping birth limits will have little effect on China's declining births" Anecdotally, most friends self-limited at one, or more often no kids- lack of welfare net, awful healthcare system & their own only-children burden of looking after four aging parents a familiar refrain.

This Valentine's Day, love in a time of #coronavirus - Wuhan doctor on the frontline quarantines herself from family. Her husband drives behind her every night as she starts her shift, lighting her way to the hospital, and leaves a home-cooked meal for her.
