The lived experience of the Chinese community globally and here in Canada has been harmed tremendously by #COVID19. #IDERD
From a mother berated by hate after venturing to the grocery store for some fruit, to the doctor rapidly losing patients, the Chinese community has weathered a startling amount of hate and xenophobia amid #COVID19: globalnews.ca/news/6602754/c…
The increase in racism and xenophobia has led to acts of violence across Canada. Canadians who are considered visibly “Asian” are being stabbed, like this 44 year old Korean man:
"I've been living in this neighbourhood for 15 years now, and this is the first time I feel like I'm not at home" + "We feel like we're being blamed for the situation" cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…
#IAmNotAVirus #IDERD
Due to this rise in xenophobia and hate during #COVID19, the #IAmNotAVirus hashtag was created to combat the stigma and danger posed to the community. #IDERD

Here’s what I wish everyone knew about #covid-19, especially young people who believe they are “low risk”.
1) “I’m not at risk” – everyone is at risk from the #coronavirus, and even young and healthy people can end up on a ventilator in an intensive care unit with this disease
2) “There’s no chance I have it” – you can’t know this without taking a test. The symptoms can be very mild, such as a runny nose or sore throat, and many people may not even get symptoms at all

Back in January I ordered various kinds of MREs in preparation for the #COVIDー19. One interesting thing is the amount of camouflage they need.
The military wants MREs to be camouflaged a bit for certain situations. Therefore, "authentic" MREs need it. Even though customers for non-military versions have no need of it, camouflaged ones are still seen as more 'authentic' and sell better. Hence what you see in the picture.
MREs are rather a stupid solution for a pandemic. They are constructed for when you are on the move and don't have a stable base. If you are at home, then simply buying the underlying food from the grocery store is better, as in the above picture.

REMEMBER THIS: Feb 1, 2020

A Chinese man from Wuhan has died of the coronavirus in the Philippines. First death outside China. Duque rejected the idea of temporary ban for it might start “political and democRatic repercussions” 1/n

#COVIDー19 #MMLockdown
Duterte agreed that imposing a ban might “threatened the goodwill he had built” w/ China and focused instead on the issue of cancelling the VFA ‘coz Bato’s US visa has been cancelled by the US. Dito palang nag-ingay na kami. Pero di kami pinakinggan. 2/n #COVIDー19 #MMLockdown
Backtrack. Yung namatay last Feb1 nakapagtravel pa sa 3 probinsya with someone na also infected. There were also flight still coming in from Fujian province to Davao as late as Jan 29 without 14day quarantine. 3/n #MMLockdown #COVIDー19

Looks like @0ctoberReignz is onto something here... the image we have been bombarded with as being “Coronavirus” (specifically 2019-nCoV) is not an actual image of #COVID. It’s a rendition of another virus. In fact, we barely have a decent image of COVID at all!
Here is the best image we have of #COVID / #Coronavirus from the #Wuhan outbreak... this is it... this is the real image.

Doesn’t exactly look like the pretty modeled image we saw just a moment ago does it? Nope... not at all!
What we DO have... is a Electron Scanned Microscopic image of Influenza A... as correctly pointed out by @0ctoberReignz ... so... WTF??

There is definitely something way way off going on here

Cannot agree more here. Basically this is contingency planning for Covid-19. Authorities needs to start working thoroughly by creating scenarios and responsive actions based on the situation. As per WHO risk assessment this outbreak is globally on category “HIGH”.(1/11)
PREPARE FOR A PANDEMIC! #COVIDー19 meets 2 of the 3 factors needed to be classified as a Pandemic; 1- illness resulting death 2- Sustained person-to-person spread 3- Worldwide spread. In no time we have to hear this as it has spiked on foreign lands in the past few days (2/11).
Although some of the efforts of preparedness have been done which needs to be escalated and boosted by the Maldivian authorities. I Would like to highlight few of the steps for better preparation. (3/11)

Here’s my bold prediction for how the #COVIDー19 pandemic will go for the US:

First will be California, with hotspots in LA, Sacramento, San Fran. New York City will also likely be an epicenter.
I expect that once we get solid proof of community transmission in the large cities, domestic air travel will be shut down or heavily restricted. Land transmission will remain as the only viable method of spread.
Worst to be hit will likely be the Northeast and Southwest, with some penetration into Middle America and the PNW. Also concerned about the potential to hit the southeast via Hartsfield-Jackson, the amount of traffic through there is insane.
