School reopens in a few days. Perhaps people have overlooked the most important and frequently used transport system - buses and trains. Let me play out a scenario in the bus.
This person goes into the bus. Because he doesn't know that he has the virus (only 44% of cases have fever), hence he spreads it around. Because the physical conditions in the bus makes the virus thrive even better, for students who sit in the bus for 1 hour will be the most likely victim. Why? They spend hours playing computer, and don't go exercising , hence their immunity is low. The carrier will just spread to his school and family members and viola! The whole world is dead.
In the train, it's more packed, but the duration spent there is greatly reduced. Australians do not feel the high rush of panic, because they are more spread out (2.84/km2)unlike Singapore whose 6,814/km2. We were ranked third in the world.
Now, in a crowded place, why do some people get the disease and some don't? I think it boils down to how strong your immue system is. Now I'm not saying that you should go and buy and drink tonics or hit the gym 4 hours a day. I don't think there is any direct relation in that. I have a friend who runs about 3 km easily everyday, but he's always down with colds and coughs.
I'm also at a loss of what to do, but I do keep us with my exercising routine and keep calm, because the power of the brain is humongous. It's like will power and this is not a miricle. This is proven.
You should also do the necessary precautions to protect yourself. Go out in a mask if you have to.
Be healthy and be well
Until next time
