“Our eldest Grandson’s a true hero. One of the ‘Red Vests’ managing the ‘Front-End’ of our local grocery store he calms irate customers who don’t want to comply with quarantine and rationing regulations. He’s been continuously exposed to Covid-19 every day for months”
“…Lahat maayos na naka pag board sa Barko hanggang may isang family na symptomatic. […] Sineserved lahat mula sa tubig hanggang pagkaen namin sa mga rooms namin. Ngayon naka 12 days on isolation na kame at makaka uwe na sa mga pamilya namin…”
“그러나 확인되지 않은 타인을 만나거나 노출될 경우 서로 의심하거나 좋지 않은 감정으로 시작하는 점은 이 시기를 견디기 어렵게 하는 요인으로 파악된다.”
