Virus





My Dear Great Ones,

What a year it has been so far in Hong Kong.  Protests for months and months, a short break followed by a virus that has pretty well shut down Hong Kong.  Celia and I are sitting at home "teaching," our classes online.  It is not ideal obviously.  The panic the corona virus has unleashed in many people is what I find most disturbing about all this.  A run on masks and toilet paper.  Seriously?

Hopefully this virus will run its course soon and some good will come out of it.  Seeing more kids in Hong Kong playing  outside and families hiking due to more time to do so because of school/ business slow downs is already a good thing.  

Sadly of course there have been deaths due to this virus, one even here in Hong Kong.  Yet despite the sadness and stress of the times some humour has emerged. (Check below)  A welcome counter balance to the seriousness of the matter.

A run on toilet paper, noodles and rice.


Have a great week.

Love adios and ping on!
