Online Class Notes (Mike)

Write about how you got into coffee

Now the first thing I do every day when I wake up is to check if there is a 团购 in the WeChat group and what I can buy again today, Actually I don’t know. Now I need to buy not only for myself, but also to help my mom buy something. Because the majority of people who are older do not buy goods through WeChat.

Now the first thing I do every day when I wake up is to check if there is a group buying on WeChat and what I can buy today. Usually I will see what is available. My mom is 64 years old and she doesn’t know how to buy food on WeChat. So I need to buy things for her.

The lockdown in SH looks pretty grim. There are many people inside the building where I live who need help. 2/3 of them are elderly, the oldest is 93 years old, and they don’t know how to use the WeChat to purchase goods or get QR codes to complete COVID  test. My husband and I have to help them. That’s why we are very busy everyday, we are working from home, buy food, help the elderly and transport the delivery inside the complex during the day. I hope the epidemic will end soon and that Shanghai will return to normal soon!
