I Am Upset

The coronavirus outbreak just began globally. Number of infected cases is still rising in my city. No more home office next week, need go back to work in the office. 2 weeks ago when I went back to the office, there were 2 suspected cases within an hour in the office (not in my block) and staff were evacuated.

1 person's decision (or 1 small group of people's decision), putting everyone at risk.

Life is cheap in some places on earth.

This issue is showing how huge the lack of leadership is in our world. There are too many unanswered questions:

Are quarantines really effective?

Is it useful to stop flights from and to places with a high number of infected people? If so, why are there so many cases in Italy when it was one of the first countries to stop flights to China?

Why is the virus so deadly in Iran? Is it really the same virus?

Are masks really effective? Which ones? For how long?

Lots of questions, very few or no reliable answers, and lots of misinformation and conspiracy theories online.

People are so confused, and they choose a 'I do it as I please attitude', since there are no guidelines. I cannot blame them.
