People still do not get it.

So this pandemic has only gotten worse. Of course, as the number of deaths and new infections starts to "flatten out" or reach a curve more and more nations are making plans to reopen. The main driver is money. Governments can not keep printing money or people will lose trust in the financial systems
Currencies will crash, and chaos will follow.

Here in Iksan, we had a close call when a Korean man visited a number of gay bars in Itaewon. Thousands of Koreans were present and about 30-40 foreigners were there as well. Of course, the government focused its attention on foreigners.  Here in Iksan, this results in some restaurants not allowing foreigners to enter. This happened to us. The lame excuse was they ran out of ingredients. Of course, we did not buy the story but we left anyway. No need to create a scene. However, in the foreign community people are still gathering. The public sees this. If just ONE infection results we will be blamed again. Then many of us will lose our jobs and end up in limbo. So we will be keeping a low profile for one more week.

Ok, it is time to start class. Bella is looking at me....OMG. I have to go now!
