#Go-Wuhan

Today I watched a brief video message from Hong Kong-based Chinese journalist Yuli Yang who has family in Wuhan, the original epicenter of the outbreak. She asked the world to send messages of encouragement and support to the people in Wuhan through social media, so they know they’re not alone:

“When people in Wuhan have more hope and strength in their hearts, their immune systems improve. It literally makes them stronger,” she said, “and if Wuhan becomes stronger, we’re all one step closer to winning this fight against COVID-19. That’s just the simple logic of our oneness as a species.”

And further: “What gives me hope is that we are human beings, and the year right now is 2020. We have shocking, amazing powers. This virus might not know this, but we have walked on the moon, we can speak to one another instantaneously, even if we are on two sides of the planet. We have cured and gotten rid of so many diseases on the face of this planet. We can definitely defeat this virus. It’s just a matter of time. But exactly because of our powers as a species, we need to be cautious in how we use our strengths. We absolutely cannot allow fear, hate, or anger lead our actions, because whenever that happened, horrible things followed.”

Looking fwd. to receiving the noodle recipe :-)
