Online Class Notes (Jesse) [13.5]

The pandemic has been rebounding recently, because there was a guy who has been infected by Covid-19, but somehow he hasn’t been isolated, and he went to a bar at Sanlitun and many other places in the last two days, therefore Beijing has 36 new confirmed cases and more than 4000 people who have close contact last day, and many communities and places for public entertainment has been closed again. My friends and I were planning to play board game in this weekend, but because of the pandemic situation, the game shop closed temporarily according to the government order. So this weekend will be boring as usual, but the good news is the dance studio that I used to go often opened this week.
