Compare the Coronavirus and Influenza

Compare Influenza which kills more people than coronavirus. Check the link below. There's so much criticism, racism, xenophobia, negative videos and pictures, and conspiracy theories out there, but no one is showing anything positive things about the coronavirus situation such as what is being done to stop the spread of the virus. People are unfair and have no empathy. I've spoken to a lot of Chinese friends and my foreign friends who live both in Mainland China and in Hong Kong, and they all think that how the Western Media is dealing with this, and how the people are reacting to this with their racist attitude is very unfair and unjustified. As for other Asians, who are going against the Chinese, you are also Asians. You are not of different race. If you go to another Western country, it is more likely that you will be labeled as Chinese rather than another Asian, such as Korean, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, Filipinos, etc. Just so you know, a lot of Asian economies are booming due in part because of the Chinese economy. For the Filipinos, hundreds of thousands are employed in Hong Kong as domestic workers. Don't tell me if that doesn't help the Philippine economy. In Thailand as well as other Asian countries, the Chinese tourists bring millions of dollars to the economy. And a lot of products are also now being imported from Asian countries to China and Hong Kong as well. A lot of Japanese and Korean as well as US and European companies have stores in Mainland China and in Hong Kong. We are all connected. Be grateful. That's the reason why the Mandarin language is now the language to learn in addition to English to remain competitive. Some of you might not like the Chinese government. That's understandable, but for what it is, with what they're doing right now, doing its best to treat thousands of patients with limited facilities and medical supplies and to contain the virus from spending some more, I think they're not doing a bad job. I know this, not from the news but from my friends, both Chinese and foreigners, in China, whom I keep in touch with. As for your country, especially the poorer country, can your country do much better? I think we should have empathy ( which means putting yourself in other people's shoes). It is a very important trait that everyone should have in order to understand other people and other cultures. Your religion does not make you a good person. Your words, no matter how colorful they are, don't make you a good person. Your action does. Donate some medical supplies. Send some positive encouragement. Thank you. #coronavirus #christopherrevon
