Is the fear of the coronavirus overblown? Planning on going to bali, kuala lumpur, and singapore in the summer. Read that a vaccine wont be available until 2021. Am i just asking for it? Thoughts?

They are not overblown and people say otherwise fail to realize the implications of a zoontonic virus.

I just wouldn’t travel to China. Those places seem fine

Those places are fine

We lived in HK at the tail end of the SARS thing and we didn’t panic but it was definitely was an anxious time. 😷 Whether it’s a good idea depends on your risk tolerance but also on your underlying health. If you do book, check the cancellation policy, get travel insurance and/or book it on your Amex as it may get cancelled last minute. Personally I’d go for it as I seem to have a knack for surviving high risk travel. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can probably get reduced rates if tourism more broadly takes a hit in Asia 😬

There’s no confirmed cases in Indonesia yet. Although some say, that’s because they lack the testing equipment.

I wouldn’t go. That’s the perfect time for the epidemic to have spread fully to those areas. Singapore already has a bunch of cases. I’m sure the others do too, with their number of Chinese visitors, they just haven’t been confirmed yet.

I personally feel that it's absolutely ludicrous the US government is not enforcing or at least asking people to wear masks in healthcare environments like at the pharmacy, doctor's offices, or the hospital. We all wear ours behind the counter but I had a patient come in today WITH covid to pick up her prescription, no mask. I get that she already has it so she isn't worried, but what about the other people around??

Curious what your title structure is for roles focused specifically on organic social media (or does it always require paid expertise?). I imagine Community Manager is appropriate for entry level but when you start to grow and the work becomes more than social moderation - responsible for the development of all organic content (and sometimes copywriting), high level reporting, etc. - not sure what's most reflective of the roles. Any insights and perspectives welcome :)
