Well, quite frankly speaking...with all these media and especially social media spreading fake news, this cornovirus has caused a lot of unnecessary panic to all of us living in the GTA.
In my group from work all of them are ordering boxes after boxes of masks via a online source shipping from china to Toronto. And then out of my curiosity last night, I went to a few shoppers and all of them are already out of handsanitizers/masks and alcohol....its unbelievable.
I think Toronto has learnt a great deal from SARS and we should have confidence of our medical professionals and the transparencies we get from the government agencies.
With us, even the our own Chinese people, getting all these masks and starts a panic is unnecessary at this moment. What DO you think how others would think of us asian chinese people. These actions can create prejudice.....even thought it already existed many years for me living in Toronto.
Yes, we need to be prepared, but take a step back and see what is going on, and be selective on what you see and believe.
Remember SARS, which was much more serious, with deaths at our door steps, and we got the N95 masks, but we didn't use any of them during that time.
Unless an individuals who are in the epic center of Wuhan, HK and any immediate nearby cities, I don't believe we need cause a panic.
We just need to take care of our own hygiene, wash your hands often and take care of yourself.
But hey, I could be wrong for what i say here, and others with disagree, so all I want to say is, take care of yourself and your loved ones during this time. Stay safe and healthy!! |
