How does it impact normal people lives?
At first, it is unbelievable that a cough can be that scary until we have to stop working and cannot go out from our house.
It was early year 2020, there is restriction of China tourist to Malaysia.
Actually at the end of 2019, there are cases of people who passed away due to lung infection. It might be Covid19 but there is no report on that.
During Chinese New Year 2020, the price of mask is still normal. My sister did not bother to buy mask to bring to Singapore. When there is outbreak of Covid19 in Singapore, mask ran out in Singapore. We bought some mask and post it to her. The price of mask was increased but still available at that time.
In March 2020, Malaysia had curfew (Movement Control Order MCO) and we have to provide letter from company if we need to travel to work. At that time, there is no mask available in the market. You cannot buy any mask even when you have the money. I remember my uncle called me when I was on my way to the office in the morning to ask for mask. I drove to his house and gave him the masks (3 pieces) which are available in my car to my aunt. She did not have any mask and she needs to go to buy things from the supermarket.
How to survive with so few masks? Sanitise by using sunshine.
Most people are not allowed to come to the office. So, the office is quite safe.
Then, we are allowed to work from home. Working from home is more tiring than working from the office because the bosses expect us to be able to work whenever they need us.
Many people cannot work and there is no income. It was very stressful moments. Luckily the bank allows us to delays in paying the installment.
People get bored at home. Online shopping is going hot. There are many shops turn to Facebook live to do the selling.
I managed to get a boyfriend before the Movement Control Order MCO 😜
Food is sufficient although sometimes there are no eggs/bread. There are shops near our house. So, we can buy breakfast there.
It is only stress from work because I am expected to be appear working all the time and I have to keep my team appear working. It must be very stressful when we have to report when we are going to toilet at office hour.
