Living with the Corona Virus
Life in China with Corvid-9/Corona/ Snake no bat back to snake virus. Seriously it went from one animal to another animal back to the same animal. They really had no idea where this thing came from. I was cool with bat virus, but found the idea of contacting snake virus disgusting, go figure.
So what is life like here with the epidemic, for lack of better words it sucks. I live in what could best be described as the elephant graveyard for expats. What that means is that were I live there are a lot of older expats with their Chinese spouses and mixed race kids. Which is actually pretty nice. The problem is for the most part you rely on what is around this area for food, entertainment, and everything else.
Well after one person got sick, everything got shut down. Even McDonalds shut their doors, and they are open 24/7 365 days a year, rain or shine and whatever freaking holiday it is. McDonalds saw me as a single expat through a number of Chinese New Years.
Food and other vital supplies still get delievered, but I am glad that I am married when this happened to someone who can speak and understand Chinese. I think I would have starved to death by this point, or been quarantined.
Every where you go you see people in masks, some people also have gloves on. If you walk into a building, or apartment compound the guards will take your temperature, even at the local convenience store they take my temperature. One clerk with the laser scanner and the other one working the cash register.
They are saying life will get back to normal. Some think it will be in two weeks, others are saying the end of March or beginning of April. Looking forward to it, because spending time indoors all day is not all that fun. As one friend put it, it's like being in prison in your own apartment.
