They were hit hard by their very own culture.

They followed what WHO says. If not sick, no need wear mask. People with different backgrounds and culture all reads the same message differently. Guess i dont have to elaborate that anymore.
I remember reading in one of the news from Taiwan, a nurse was interviewing a coronavirus carrier over a 2+ meter table with mask on for about 20 mins in a enclosed room, few days later, the nurse was diagnosed with codvid-19.
In the above case, washing hands and wearing a mask not going to help as much, arent it?
That Covid-19 Virus is air borne aka 气溶胶传播 (what China calls it)
气溶胶 is translated to Aerosol
The "enemy" is in the air all around us.
Then again, one thing that still puzzles me all these time. Why are medical staffs wearing mask in the hospital then? I'm kind of sure they also wash their hands at the highest frequency too. I know, people will start giving answer/s like becos the premises has got virus/bacteria etc, people they dealt with could be infected etc etc.
But the very reason why medical staffs were wearing mask is enough to tell me wearing a mask is NOT completely useless. (just NOT necessary to wear it all the time and in all premises, resulting in wastage etc)
Since my enemy is in the "air",hehehe...and when it comes to dealing with "air", mask is one of the key important factor.
Find dealing with "air" familiar? Thats when i try to turn Utama Hotel's stinky room into Formosa Hotel's clean cozy room.
Because of this Covid-19 pandemic ,i am NOW equipped with...
RECHARGEABLE UV STERILIZER
...and followed by...
Cordless Dual Spray Air Humidifier
...with the mist taken from sodium chlorite tablet (diluted with water accordingly).
Not forgetting the alcohol-based hand sanitizing liquid.
And when i step out of home, i carry around...
Portable UV Sanitizer Hand Wand
...and this...
...or this below, if i am travelling light.
I would include the Japanese "dog tag" and mask too.
What i found out so far. Ultra Violet is the cheapest way to sanitize. 2nd cheapest would be using sodium chlorite in FDA/NEA recommended amount (this is the MOST convenient method to me). The 3rd would be Ethyl alcohol hand sanitizing, followed by Isopropyl Alcohol wipes to clean up what i am about to touch on.

As for mask, I wore it when in crowded places and/when social distancing is not easily accomplished. Wear it if unwell. Been practicing that BEFORE my last trip in Batam, which is somewhere middle of March 2020. Even before Singapore government's announcement on social distancing and finally NOT discouraging its people to wear mask in public. My 1st box of mask in my life was bought in Batam,hehehe...

...at 20k rupiah for 50 pieces. That was done during end of January 2020.
All my learning and experience in this covid-19 pandemic can be use in my future trips to Batam, especially in hotels like Utama Hotel (which is stinking with cigarette scent). These are all tools for me to change the environment to best suit me. (which is why i didnt add boosting of immune system here)
Just sharing.

Out of a sudden, when people start dying in BIG number, then the place is definitely heavily infected.

I still wish to say this again, learn from countries who has successfully cope with containing the coronavirus. And i am learning from Taiwan and Vietnam on this issue for now (with some level of common sense of course,hehehe...).

Those countries who worship human rights might have a bigger problem if "human rights" were taken away from them. Riots, demonstration, social unrest etc...which could result in bigger problem than the epidemic.

Take note of the change in their operation hours. Its from 7am to 7pm.
Call them before going down. Just to check if they are opened since this is the circuit-breaker period.
Practice social distancing, keep good hygiene habits and stay safe!
