Amid the escalating COVID-19 pandemic (WHO declared the COVID situation a pandemic just a week ago(11/03)), so far I've received cancellation of both my weekday classes this week. At first I thought Tuesday's class cancellation was a one-off, due to a recent Case having gone to school and thus the need to clean and disinfect the school premises. However, now this seems like classes may be stopped and moved online, revision classes as well. At least, I am pretty sure revision classes will not be conducted by the UK lecturers. I have yet to receive information on Saturday's class though, but given the feels now of the whole situation, am still two minds about attending the lecture. It might be better to just visit the recorded lecture anyways.
Around the world, things are looking pretty bleak too. Nearby across the Causeway, numbers of infected are skyrocketing and the situation is worse in the West, with numbers growing exponentially day by day! Places where the virus seems out of control include Italy and Spain, with the situation rather bad in the UK and the US as well. The spread of the virus is quite scary at this point, considering how I had initially thought the virus would be contained within Asia since the western region was distancing themselves from countries hit by the virus. Or so I thought.
Back where I am, the number of cases has so far been on the rise, though still relatively low numbers. It seems the virus has inevitably reached somewhere near me though, with one recent case quite close to where I reside. Argh... people really ought to take more care and precautions, and heed the advice to stay home if unwell.
