There's no denying it now

Like many, I was on the side that the coronovirus was likely to be all but over and it was a media hype. The battle between VC and media on Twitter in regards to the coronovirus was probably one of the more entertaining twitter arguments in recent history.

I am still not 100% convinced that we need a global panic right now. Many more people have died from the flu in January and February. The death rate of the coronovirus is relatively low compared to SARS and MERS.

I completely understand the argument for erring on the side of caution, but I’m not a doctor so I typically like to try to laugh these things off.

I have an upcoming vacation planned to South Korea and Japan with Sophia and friends at the beginning of April. After being on anti-cancel the trip team, it’s starting to look more and more like that these countries will start to be on lock-down by the time April comes around.

There’s no denying that we are on the brink of a pandemic now. I remain hopeful that everything will be contained in the next two weeks, but it does not seem likely. Countries will need to do the responsible thing and control travel.

Every nation needs to employ all necessary precautions to get everything under control before things get worse.

If things continue on this trend, hopefully we can postpone our trip to later this year once everything is controlled.
