China: Reflection on Two Months of COVID-19

In that week, changes came at a rapid pace. School was postponed: first for two weeks, then a month, and then indefinitely. All trips and activities were suspended. All of a sudden, Chinese New Year wasn’t even Chinese New Year anymore. No one was going out to eat, visiting relatives, or traveling. Each day, the first thing I did was check how many new cases had been reported. There was nothing we could do but sit in our homes and wait.
