There was a large amount of coronavirus confirmed in last few weeks over several states in United States. It is a frustrated time that our attention on news has been overwhelmed but we all face in this crisis as humankind all together, each citizen living in their community. The happen of this diseases started early January, spreading from Hubei, Wuhan, China. Right now, it has been spread to almost all countries around world. Be a urbaner living in Canada, my work style has been changed greatly. Basically from traditional way to a new quarantined way. This pandemic also changes way of people communication in contemporary intelligence connected world. 

Currently, I am riding on my way not as old fashion as working from home, which used to be like you wake up in the morning, hurry up for breakfast, warm up your car to your work place. Right now when we hit on the road, we focused on radio about weather and news locally. Right now, it become a new way of connecting your devices in a seamless way when you using online tools, as riding your car on the road, this tool can brought this moment I connect with the world. Most of us lives and work from home-based office environment, at same time taking care mails, shopping online and I usually called my mother once a week. 

This is what I intentionally start my blog, to practicing writing more words, to you my dear reader. This clear thinking could gain awareness that I am express something that may differ from others, which called self personality. Thanks to this channel, I could focus on consciousness of delivering what I already had and will keep working to improve my writing in a smooth way. These tiny moments in my blog story, I hope to spark joy to you out there behind the screen. 

I know most of people suffer from pain after this pandemic hit hard in most of metropolitan area, such as New York, Florid, Detroit. I also read a lot of reports from that first two outbreak time Wuhan people endeavor in building Huoshenshan, Fangcang hospital in battle with growing number of patients with suspected coronavirus. They have been working in full capacity, using their day and night to study, report and test of spread of virus. From twitter, I also could read those hospital doctors and nurses in US have been using minutes and seconds to save people's life.

First thing is about testing of COVID-19, as far as I know there are three different testing methods: nucleic acid test using tool-kit box for sample tests, positive or negative test outcome directly indicated if patients have such virus invaded into immune system. Second way to primarily identify if virus cause infection is by scanning lung area by using CT technique. From scanning pictures, there are dark spots around lung area which would identify how long it has been potential attach to lung alveoli. Third way of testing coronavirus is by using antibody tests. As immunological mechanism of body in defending of such virus at the first fourteen days of hidden period, own body system starts releasing phagocyte to eliminate expansion of virus. Anti-body carried reach to certain level means body already has certain amount of immunologic in its own system. Again low probability of second chance contamination could had happened after antibody has been found in the body. As we know healthy body will not be infected by coronavirus at the same probability as those who does not have good condition, such as when body system itself carries other accompanied chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, high blood pressure, etc. As these diseases significantly increases potentiality of elder groups with their 65 to 80 years who already had chronic diseases before. That's why infected persons must be quarantined cause their immune system could not self-immune from virus, but spread virus through human-to-human contamination outside in public.

Okay let’s return back to normal life. This moment I realize the average time I spent on telephone has doubled over the last three months, which means literally there is less chance going outdoor activity. Occupied by a booming of news and information, my digital devices is quite busy. The name called internet of things that greatly affect my modern life. For everyone it is all open and available of online data, should be sometimes limited to reach, especially for young children. This is not because of everyday keep away from information, but it remind us a jump out of box to conduct independ thinking could make our screen time less stressful. The transformation from a life with average 2-3 hours computer time to almost 8-10 hours electronic device time is an evident of it comes to a new age of intellectual connectivity time where screen means a window to the world. Isn’t it also true that we should also spare more time cultivating gardens, writing, walking on the street to meet new friends? If our sight is narrowed down to screen, I am afraid that we probably become hard to get to real side of each other in the real world after several years.
