The delta strain is in South Korea

 So it has finally reached South Korea. It was inevitable. Traveling was restarted all over the globe with a few places not allowing tourists. Here in South Korea, more and more people have started traveling again. We are going into a 2-week lockdown. No restaurants or gathering with friends. This means that we will save more money LOL. When we finish work on Saturday we will likely chill at home venturing out to an isolated area in a park later. Just Yogita and I no one else. I will instruct my boys to maintain more distance when walking Oskar. 

As we predicted it would hit Seoul and surrounding areas first. Then it would spread to the lower provinces as many people in our area love to visit Seoul for entertainment. Seoul is great for everything entertainment-related. Family fun, gastronomy, adult fun, couples, site seeing. Seoul has it all in spades. We got some very good exercise just walking during past visits to the capital.

It is no surprise that Seoul would be an epicenter yet again. 

Yesterday at work it was hunky-dory. I was asked to "air out" my class between classes. My goodness if it is so serious "airing" a room out with no active airflow OUT of the room...means nothing is happening to air particles within the room. I comply because first I would not be understood if I tried to explain why "airing a room with no active airflow is blah blah blah..". A waste of time that would only lead to conflict.

Cleaning surfaces, washing hands wearing masks, this is effective. Actually, in this order washing hands, cleaning surfaces, and finally wearing a mask together helps prevent the spread of disease. As a teacher, I wash my hands two to three times a class. I need to wash surfaces more though. So tomorrow and for the next few weeks, I will be doing that. 

I should note that I still have not gotten sick with a cold or flu since I started wearing a mask along with washing my hands. I would say the washing of the hands was something I was sorely lacking. You would be surprised at how many times we touch our faces!


Ok time to head into the next topic!
