I found an interesting pattern whenever a disaster happens (whether human made or natural one). There are always three phrases.



Phrase 1, questioning the government's effort, criticizing the government or other government's effort and denying all the efforts that government has been done.

Phrase 2, praise the government's effort, praise the people who done something about the disaster, praise the solidarity among people, listen to government's instruction.

Phrase 3, recovery.



I am glad that see your article is in phrase 2 while the others are still in phrase 1. Because it is the sign that finally there are people making progress towards the recovery stage. As a matter of fact, Chinese people just went through all these three phrases.



As a Chinese who stayed in China during the Chinese outbreak, I strongly recommend: first of all, stay in your home, unless it is necessary, do not go out. Second, if you have to go out, wear your mask and keep distance with others, it is a airborne virus, even though you don't have it, you can still caught it when your mouth and nose was exposed in the air. Third, don't gather around with your friend or family who doesn't live with you. There are people have the virus but developed no symptom, you never know that.



At this point, the most useless action is to criticize, because protect yourself should be the priority. Nevertheless, solidarity always win the fight.
