Little Note: COVID-19

Greetings,

I wonder if there are still people reading my blog, since I haven't updated in almost a year.

Not only because of some laziness, unsure what to do, but also due to the huge amount of homework this year lol.

I'll try my best to get my blog updated these days if I can, since the only ideas I have here are all major projects that I don't know how to start off.

I may go back to text effect making before I managed to kick start one of them.

Well, anyway, the reason for this sudden update, is because of the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Although, as many of you probably know, I live in Malaysia, but for some reason, my country here is affected as well.

If the news I read just now is not wrong, there're 8 persons here that are infected by this virus, they're not in my state though, but in Johor.

I didn't take notice of this virus at first, only read some articles about Coronavirus (not that specific one) in the first few days, and that time, it's still not spread worldwide.

I only hoped for this disease to get aided fast, then just went on and continue to read other articles.

Although I keep hearing about, wear masks and drink water regularly, I still thought that it's just about influenza.

But when I'm staying in my grandparent's house for Chinese New Year, I keep seeing that phrase "Wu Han Coronavirus" on the TV, and that made me remembered the articles I read.

I never expect that it will go worldwide.

Now in my area here, many people panicked.

This morning, I've heard that the face masks, vitamin C and hand sanitizers are out of stock now.

(I'm not sure if that's true though, since I didn't check that out.)

Then I heard that in my brother's school, the students must wear face masks and need to inform the teachers if they've gone back from a vacation to other countries.

Then in my school, the teachers even teach us how to wear face masks properly specifically.

Then my mom talks a lot about the rumors spread on social media, which she still believes even after the double explanation from me and my brother.
Although still, I didn't feel panicked, but I've had some thoughts about this virus, so I created a post to jot down it a bit.
I won't be commenting about the actions taken by the countries, since I'm not an expert in those areas, it's properly better for me to shut up and leave that to the professionals instead.

After some googling, there're 7912 people infected with this virus (Which used to be 7909 before I refreshed it around 6 pm), with 170 deads, and 140 cured.
And there're two hospitals in Wu Han that's in construction to cure all of them, 火神山(Fire God Mountain) and 雷神山 (Thunder God Mountain.). They'll be in service about 3rd February and 5th February.
Edit: I just went and watch the live stream of them lol.武汉加油！

8: 23 p.m Update: I just witnessed them settling this little room lol. It's kinda amazing to witness them building it up like lego lol. Gambateh, construction team!

(I'm gonna stop watching for now and focus on revision first or else my dad will scold me, probably will go back and be a part-time 云监工 again tomorrow. lol I would like to see it in daylight .)

31.1.2020 Update:

lol My wish is fulfilled, and got a free afterglow scene. 

I also witnessed a room-settling as well, but its too behind to be circled out after settling lol.

16.3.2020 Update:

It's been two months since I updated this thing.

Well, first of all, I thought its almost over in February since the hospital is done and the vaccine is out. So I stopped updating and just waited for it to get over and announce it here lol.

But the truth is, it wasn't over.

During my weeks of preparing for my exam, I've heard a lot of news that happens in Malaysia here.

Including the number of patients increasing, Sabah and Sarawak's school was shutted down and the location of where the newest patients are found is getting closer and closer to my location here. I'm not going to say where I live, but trust me, its really, really close. So close that I thought my exam is going to get canceled and my school will shut down.

And good thing it didn't, and I have done my exam in time before hearing that they're considering on lockdown...

So I'm back again, with some mind-blowing updates to jot down. 

Remember when its 30.1.2020 I said that there are only 8 people are diagnoses with this?

And my last check on the Wikipedia, which is 31.1.2020, shows that there's 13.

Now, guess how many people were diagnosed with this at my current time when writing this, 6:48 p.m. at 16.3.2020?

553...

(According to Wikipedia and Malaysia Kini)

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic)

(https://newslab.malaysiakini.com/covid-19/en)

That's 540 more than what I last saw... 

And surprisingly the list of the number of diagnosed people in Wikipedia that once no need to scroll to see it fully, need to be scrolled to the middle section of the page to be seen fully.

That's mind-blowing, I'm sure that even the SARS wasn't as destructive as this.

I've heard that some places in Italy, Austria and also Manila, Philippines, and Hokkaido, Japan have been locked down while Malaysia here, with 553 people diagnosed, is only 300 people or so behind Japan.

Will Malaysia here be the next? 

I'll get you all updated if I got something here about it.

10:38 Update

Although the news says nothing, my teacher already told me.

Lockdown confirmed to 28.4

马来西亚封城确定至4月28号

18.3.2020 Update

Reminded by my father, I just went and checked and...

A day right after I do my last update, two people have died, on the same day...

So please everyone...The thing is getting serious now, stop treating this lockdown as a holiday!

Don't go on vacation, don't panic, don't go out and have meals together, order a take out and eat at home.

10.4.2020 Update

Just go and watch the announcement, lockdown quarantine is extended to 28.4 again...

Our total deads is a shocking amount of 4288 persons, with 67 deads and 1608 persons cured.

Still, everyone, #StayAtHome.

Do your work and study at home.

(Although it's really frustrating to cope with my homework now lol)

13.4.2020 Update

My teacher just shared this to me, this is an Italian song written to raise funds for their hospitals.

I figured that this is the only thing I can do, to post it on my blog and share it to you who're reading this.

If there are other videos that are for fundraising, please do comment below with it, if its real I'll put it up here as well.

At least that's what I can do for the fighting of COVID-19.

That's all from me I guess, before I remembered something else, if you read until here, thank you for listening to my gossiping.
Please do take care of your own health, and don't let the rumors ruin your day. It's better to do research about them before you believe any of them.

Hopefully, the patients all will be cured soon.
Thank you, for all the ones they're risking their own life fighting with the virus.
RIP for the ones that didn't make it to the end of this pandemic, you are all brave warriors.
Good luck for the ones that are still stuck in those cities, do be strong until they cancel the lockdown.
I wish you all,
All the best.
