Coronavirus is real...

            There is much conspiracy about the Novel Coronavirus coming out of China. People I have met abroad doubt that the epidemic is even really happening. But what I can say from my firsthand account is that I do believe coronavirus is happening, despite not having met anyone who has had this Novel Coronavirus. I was in China up until last week, and what I experienced there was really very intense. China is almost completely under lockdown right now. People are having troubling moving from city to city, because many trains, taxis’ and planes are cancelled. There are also physical roadblocks on the roads, because the government doesn’t want people moving around in their own personal cars either, because this may spread the virus. Nobody is outside, everyone is hiding in their apartments waiting for this whole epidemic to end. And people are worried because they don’t know when they will go back to work. All schools and public places are closed. Only pharmacies, big supermarkets, and hospitals are open now. Foreign stock investors have pulled out their shares from Chinese companies, because this epidemic has had such a big financial blow on China’s economy. It is still unknown when this epidemic will end. With the SARS epidemic, the virus simply disappeared when the weather got warmer. Hopefully this can happen with the Novel Coronavirus. I also don’t like when I hear foreign people say they don’t believe the epidemic is a real thing, because they haven’t seen it with their own eyes. It makes me a bit angry. I too haven’t seen anyone with the Novel Coronavirus with my own eyes, but I believe it is happening because all world governments are acknowledging it’s happening, and international unions as well, such as the WHO (World Health Organization). Coronavirus is real and a threat. Otherwise so many countries wouldn’t stop their flights from China. It’s very dangerous now also because it’s now said the virus can be transferred through the air, in droplets of water. So one may not be in contact with people, but the Coronavirus can still be in their air. The whole world has to be cautious right now. Best of luck to China.
