'I don't think life will be ‘normal’ for at least the first quarter of this year.'
Jenny Tang, 31, grew up in Sydney. Her work in Shanghai has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. She hopes China will learn from what has happened.
I was lucky to have some face masks leftover from a previous project so I started wearing them just as the outbreak started. I wash my hands much more often now, like more than ten times a day, as this is the most common way for coronavirus to spread. I also am taking more supplements like vitamin C to boost my immune system.
I came to China for the first time in 1995 to participate in a language program in Nanjing and returned to China for six months in 2001 when Holden Ltd sent me to for professional development at Shanghai General Motors. It turned into an 18-year adventure that’s still ongoing and I’m currently setting up my own consultancy.Dave Tacon/SBS News
Initially, family and friends were concerned but after better understanding the situation, I think that they feel more at ease. The next few weeks will be key in how it plays out. Personally I feel that things will steadily improve." I have been wearing a mask outside and disinfecting my hands frequently. I don’t have kids in school so that is one less of a worry for me.
