In the last few days Ben Kavanagh has been speaking on RTE Radio and RTE Television.
Ben is teaching in Wuhan, comes from Kildare and now lives in Wuhan in China, the epicentre of the coronavirus.
He comes across has an amazing young man. In the first days he was adamant on staying in China. But this morning he is less certain and has been in contact with the Irish embassy in Beijing.
Ben seems a matter-of-fact person. This morning for the second time he said that one of his reasons about not leaving the city is because he would not want to be the cause of someone being infected by him.
Striking.
And also, he makes for great radio.

The full extent of the medical crisis within China is being underestimated, a Chinese national told me. And the focus on Wuhan is, medically speaking, unwarranted, again a Chinese national told me. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
