In Thailand at the height of Covid-19 , the people started putting these ' Lets share our happiness ' cabinets everywhere all over the country . Basically they are cabinets where people can put anything from food , medicine , masks etc for the less unfortunate people who couldn't afford them . They can take as much or as little as they want from the cabinets and you can contribute as much or as little ( or nothing ) as you want . Things like that , for me , is a good reminder that we are not completely useless as human race . People often look up to the rich and famous for answers or silly things like that but when we don't help each other anymore it's really the end, especially in such dramatic long impacting situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had fever for a week due to American flu H1N1 flu and felt like end of the world. It's no joke when your brain is being fried for more than 3 days. It took me a month to recover from H1N1. Once I recovered, I went for the flu vaccine and I was flu free for the next 365 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdown was proper and she didn't budge or cave in to any demands and they've been able to recover pretty quickly . My friend in Hong Kong told me that they are now in their 3rd phase of covid-19 . Dine In restaurants are banned as well as gyms and beauty parlors. Movement is limited . Hong Kong was doing very well until they started opening up and gave free passes ( HK is a port ) to business executives , diplomats , air crews etc who didn't have to quarantine . Now they are paying the price for it . In Thailand we have had no internal infections . All of the new cases are from people returning from abroad . Mostly workers from UAE although there have been cases with people returning from USA as well. Our commercial airspace is still closed and probably will remain so until October/ End of Year .

Europe is kind of success, but the cases are still rising. Italy and Spain were hit hard and first (or maybe they did extensive testing?), but managed to turn it around. Italy, as far as I know, is doing great now, Spain is rising though. Greece has been doing great, most of Eastern Europe too, but the cases are rising too unfortunately. Seems like ppl have stopped to care, which is not cool. Germany has been a success: though they have had many cases, the death toll has been very low. Russia has had many cases lately.
