A lecture, a textbook, an illness like no other: Inside a Melbourne COVID cluster

Do not take things for granted! This article serves as a reminder that it only takes one infected person to spread the virus to many others.
Am I being paranoid about the pandemic? Not at all. Prevention is always better than regrets for life. If possible, drive your own car instead of taking a taxi or Uber, change your clothing if you are in contact with strangers at shopping centres, wash your hands with soap, and wear a mask when out of the house.
While 1.5m is the recommended distance from another person, it is better to be further away. It has been demonstrated than droplets propelled from coughing can be four metres away.
Please take care, and stay safe.
Thank you from reading.

Coronavirus confusion Chinese masks for Italy end in Czech Republic
Coronavirus confusion Chinse masks for Italy end in Czech Republic
Yesterday I communicated via Messenger with a FB friend, a resident from Rome and currently staying in Austria to look after her 90 year old mother while the pandemic is on. The city is in lockdown, schools and universities are shut down. Workers do not get paid or receive any assistance from the government.
Her neighbour and friends in Rome are fine, staying at home. For those with a garden, they can catch up with some spring gardening. Some of them reckon the large number of infections in Italy is due to Italians go out to coffee several times a day, and kiss each other on the right and left cheeks.
Austria donated 300,000 masks to China at the start of coronavirus outbreak, and in return for such gesture, China sent 600,000 masks and other medical equipment to Austria.
As for the linked article, I don't intend to comment on or speculate about how masks donated by China to Italy ended in Czech Republic.
I like to get actual account from people living overseas. It is difficult to authenticate information from secondary source.

China Sends Masks, Gloves and Test Kits to Nations Affected by COVID-19
China Sends Masks, Gloves and Test Kits to Nations Affected by COVID-19

I have written many times that I have no intention to talk about other governments and discuss foreign politics. However, I am deeply saddened by a FB post, critising China’s goodwill and in the meantime accusing China hoarding masks.
This is not the time to speculate and be suspicious of what China is doing with the masks. If China saves the masks for her own people, what’s wrong with it? It is the prerogative of the Chinese government to give or not to give. Charity starts from home, doesn’t it?
There is nothing more important than saving lives and staying alive.
Throughout history, China under the rule of Chinese emperors, China neither conquered nor occupied any foreign country. Yuan and Qing emperors were Mongolian and Manchurian respectively.
China established the Silk Road, not for wars but trade. During the Ming Dynasty, China sent the envoys to Southeast Asia, and other nearby countries for trade, not wars.
Chinese invented gun power for peace time use, and produced fireworks for celebration of happy and even sad moments, but never as firepower. China was defeated by canons and guns of the Western inventions using the gun powder, invented by the Chinese, during the Qing Dynasty.
There is a Chinese proverb, “Never expect any reward when helping someone; do not offer help if expecting a reward in return.”
Please note that this is not a propaganda. I only want people of this world, especially members of this group, not to live their daily lives wearing coloured glasses. We must live as one in peace, not with suspicion.
