Morning and a peek out of the window reflects the level of panic and concern that has spread in regards to the latest virus which has gripped China.
Everyone outside is either wearing recommended precautionary mask or lining up outside a pharmacy to buy it but these masks are now in short supply and in fact almost no pharmacy is carrying them anymore because they've all been sold out.
Reminds me of the movie Contagion somehow.
I have to travel tonight and will be in one of the busiest airports in the world where who knows how many people traveling from god knows where will be converging and I am glad that I have two masks on my person because it's the thought of being in a very heavily populated area that concerns me.
This entire episode started from Wuhan..a place not very far from where I used to once live and now there is mass quarantine being carried out through the region in every place of migration.
Temperature screens have been set up everywhere and this is a bad time because the Chinese New Years is the largest human migration in the world and people from the entire country travel great distances to be with family or make travel plans.
I am successfully keeping myself isolated and hopefully this situation will soon get better or at the very least a solution to this will soon be upon us.
Here is hoping.
