Recovery from long running
Expectation will be bright

This is a dark time in early 2020, ever since we came to America there was never a period of time like beginning of this year. It has been transferring to work from home, after Washington, New York and many states in United States came across high raise of number in virus contamination. Major boarder are closed. Family gather has been canceled, so as my trip back home. At this time, every one of us realize COVID-19 cause trouble to Wuhan and Chinese, but also brought panic circumstance to global alert. Such virus which has severe symptom causing breath system disease after 14 days of potential hidden period in lung area. There are quite a lot of real stories about Wuhan doctors, nurses, hospital staff and those teams travel from other provinces to support Wuhan, have been working very very hard in keeping people's health, inventing testing boxes and research to develop vaccine in the front line. Though video from Tengxun, Youtube, and many media, I have known Chinese people are warm in volunteering such as provide Uber car to doctors who commute from work to home 24 hours. Also a lot of places provide community services to enhance business in food delivery, fresh veggies distribution, masks sourcing and delivering, and many more.
Such diseases recently spread from China to Europe, and some other countries, which makes governors of United States, Canada, Spain, Japan raise up nationwide alert in public health in according to World Health Organization (WHO), in providing sufficient medical equipment, testing facility and protective gown and masks to hospital system. With sufficient breathing machine, hospital bed and standard testing to screen who confirm disease are critical to make other people in this community be safe, be ready in front of complex situation. It also report insufficient of personal protective equipment such as masks, googles, antimicrobial liquid and many basic protective equipment for their citizens.
Recently, I changed from work outside to work from home mode. I have been keeping myself as isolated for a while, but my husband wants to go outside to buy food, I say don't. I know in the beginning, staying social distance may be difficult, because you need to focus on your work by using online tools to communicate quite often. It also means you need to stay in a quite closed space, to dealing with life such as laundry, ironing, reading and cooking at the same time working, planning, writing. Once in a while, I go outside to grocery store, to gasoline station, and to outside. But at this moment, there is quite low risk of spreading of virus in my city. Comparing to the high frequency of my hometown city, where even going outside require them use a pass and everyday coming into the residential area need a temperature checking. My current apartment does not have such severe management on regulating people's activity.
A few friends, their close family or friends who went to be volunteering from each individual provinces to Hubei in supporting local hospital in this battle, I watched their videos online. It is really hard work for those young 90s who left their home to work for patients who need their help. I realize in front of the public health concerned diseases and high infected disease, society need to have individual become united in fighting. But I also question why the government could not provide more financial support for those who worked extreme hard at this battle. Why there is still bureaucratic mode in processing levels of feedback and updated news in late manner? How can we provide proper post-disease council to cure people who experience front-line real loss and sorrow? I believe these questions we need sit down to well think about. But right now the most important issue I want to going through is going back to what I worked as researcher in clean material science to help improve their life.
