Are you worried about coronavirus?

I can’t even find Taiwan

Another great video (since it’s 3blue1brown, I haven’t finished watching it yet):

What he said about the masks… I admit I kinda trusted WHO and western authorities on that, but he is a specialist (an actual one), so his difference on opinion makes me rethink (and a bit worried).

EDIT: Asian Boss usually has clickbaity titles, but the doctor speaking is Professor Kim Woo-joo at Infectious Disease Division at Korea University Guro Hospital, he is the leading expert in S. Korea for the pandemic.

Today I went out to get groceries (first time after 18 days), some stuff that supermarket delivery didn’t bring. People were a bit agitated, but not much, and selves were stocked as usual, which is reassuring.
Yesterday I got my fruit/vegetables delivery (order placed earlier this week) and groceries delivery (order placed March 17th)*. Washing (stuff, food, myself, clothes and house areas used), blanching/cooking and actual trip to supermarket (about 40min total) came to just short of 8 hours in two days. A whole day’s work.

*Average delivery time for most e-supermarkets is about a month now.

I expected it to be from The Onion lol.

Also, just so no one spreads it as real… “World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.”

Hey, I’m lazy and honest. I’ll never find a girlfriend if I don’t give her both a reason for marriage and one for divorce.

Please don’t spread false information. This is not only not “hilarious”, it helps to feed the recent racist sentiment toward Asians in the West.

Also, the names they gave these people in the article are quite vulgar and a mockery of Chinese culture. I’m very disappointed by this article.

On the good side animals are coming back to cities, nice!

Edit: apparently this is not entirely true. They say it’s Indian civet which is more common and it’s not clear if it’s because of lockdown :confused:

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to spread anything racist, I posted that without thinking. I hope you’ll accept my apologies.

The video title was clickbaity, but the content was very solid and very serious, delivered in a professional way. That is, so far the best video and advice I have seen, as well as another one that noted that we should be careful about doorhandles and stuff. Thanks for sharing!

P.S.
I actually wore gloves and a mask today to go and buy groceries and I was so consumed in trying to wear the mask properly that I pushed the store’s door with my hand, which was the only thing I kep telling myself that I should avoid :sneezing_face:
It was a cheap mask and it kept fogging up my glasses, so I was really struggling with it until I had to give up and leave my nose out of it, because I couldn’t see a thing. I remember people balking at the idea of getting training/instructions of how to wear a mask properly, but we should be aware that the first couple of times even an easy task might prove to be hard to accomplish 100% correctly (or as the doctor said in the video, we should stay humble )

I recognize few names (too bad I never set my mind on marrying a millionaire I guess), but it’s good that someone’s keeping tabs, even if they are doing it for competition. If PR is what it takes, I don’t care, keep the donations rolling. Probably the numbers are inflated, but everything the medical system can get now will make a difference.
Also love the shade thrown to those who basically did nothing.
