Dola story

Today is my 8th day staying home, without a single step out of my door.

I have been following the news of Wuhan Virus since late last year, experienced that when I was in Hong Kong in early February. I kinda see it coming but never want to believe it’s going to have a real impact on my life, until last week.

I am lucky to have the privilege to work from home, thus I started earlier than many people. In the first few days I still go downstair and do grocery shopping in my local shops. Then I started to get online grocery so I don’t have to go out at all. Now I am aware I have another privilege to go out for grocery shopping as a young, healthy person with face mask in stock. I will leave the delivery quota to vulnerable people as long as I can manage social distancing on the street and in shops.

To exercise extreme caution and raise awareness is the only way to prevent us from going into a devastating situation. At first I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to explain to my friends here. I had to pull myself out of the discussion about COVID-19 in order not to be seen as a crazy Asian overreacting to “just a flu”. I hope I was braver in February.

Social responsibility is too grande a name for people to feel and act on. For things only achievable by solidarity, we need more stories. We need to do things simple because we can, not we should or we have to.

Now I am here to tell you my story, my thoughts and my journey.
