Me: laughing at Coronavirus memes
1 minute later: First cases of Coronavirus in my country
Me: *Sorry for everything I have done to you*

I’m from Wuhan and I’ve never heard a Mexican restaurant in Wuhan. However when I was on an assignment in Shanghai, there is a really good one called Mexica Lindo. If you are ever there, do check it out :)

[tygeroar]

She is so calm, love the positivity she brings!

[Giuly]

I'm in Lombardy, Italy. Stuck at home for weeks, being the parent in the house telling my parents to stay home. It's scary times, but it'll be fine again.

[lissettemolina]

Her optimism is everything such a ray of sunshine ❤️ ☀️

Well, Wuhan is my hometown and nearly all my family and friends are there. Fortunately I have never heard of them being affected by the virus . Even it’s a hard time for being quarantined inside their house, but they still feel lucky and glad of all the endeavors which the government has done.The lives there are quite in order during the lockdown cause the daily supplies can be provided and the medical system is functioning quite efficiently. So I really hope that we can stop the bias and face the problem critically .

I'm in Panama. Currently, we're under nation-wide lockdown. We have 434 confirmed cases, 8 deaths related and/or caused by COVID-19, 1 person has recuperated. I'm working from home as my office deals with companies from all around the world and our business doesn't stop. I'm just riding this "storm" out. Stay safe, everyone!

[jocelynlin]

What’s funny is that WuHan is pretty much the safest place ever now, because nobody can come in or go out, everybody there has been cured or has passed on

[coolgirl]

Seeing her so positive in the beginning and noticing that it was a 9 minute video, I was worried we were going to witness her spirits breaking as time went on or something. I'm glad she maintained an upbeat attitude throughout the entire ordeal.
I had an aunt and uncle who flew back to China right before this all broke out, though they don't live in Wuhan they stayed put for majority of their time in China. They came back to the US in February, stayed in (self) quarantine for two weeks and then the next thing you know, they're reliving this nightmare but now in the US.

This is a nice change of pace from all the scary stuff you see in the media. It seems quarantine really isn't that bad once you adapt. I hope this is all over soon.

[DominykeL-sm]

Omg she’s the sweetest most positive person i’ve ever seen!
