Yiran Ma Week One

Since the outbreak of coronavirus, the American people have changed their mind from not cared about it at the very beginning, to follow the example of Wuhan to fight against the coronavirus. As China and the United States have certain differences in health culture, many Chinese people have begun to question whether they should wear masks outside the house. In the United States, a culturally diverse society, as in many countries, xenophobia, racism and other problems can happen from time to time. Once there is a crisis, it is more likely to happen. To make matters worse, in recent weeks there has been a spate of hate attacks against Asian Americans across the country, some of which have led to physical confrontations. This makes many Asian Americans suffer from the double whammy of racial discrimination threats or various social pressures while suffering from the fear of spreading the virus. In such a global disaster, we should unite as one, instead of discriminating against us Chinese. This is very sad for students like us. We should prepare more disinfection and cleaning supplies and canned food reserve, remember to avoid going to crowded places, pay attention to hygiene, wear masks, wash hands frequently. I believe this global epidemic will soon be over.

Will sino-american relations deteriorate under this virus?
