Online Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Many people come and go there everyday/ The government is not sure how many people are infected
The city has locked down all the communities

It is much worse than in February
The number of cases is larger than before and the market is hard to control. They don’t know how many people have got infected.
The community government staff are trying to visit every family one by one to ask if you have been to there.
all the schools have stopped again. some students got infected.

Maybe they have contact with other people who went to the market.

I feel like Beijing is like that as well before the situation got worse but suddenly the city was hit by the virus so I am worried about the situation in Shanghai.
If numbers rise the government will feel nervous as well.

I think I only stayed in Beijing till now this year only for no more than 1 month
I wanna stay with them but it is a hard choice. I got a way to go back to Beijing like drive or take train but I cannot go back to Shanghai to work then.

They take measures to control people who travel to Beijing during the last 14 days.
Now you have to be quarantined in the hotel if you went to Beijing.

I m a little negative on that, even we have a vaccine we still have to live with the virus but it won’t be so deadly. Like flu we have vaccine but it still a popular illness every winter.
every winter my children will be infected by the flu.
