Ah, it's stay for two o'clock on day for the only reason I'm able to remember what you know which day we're on it. Because it's the 4th February. So yeah, that's pretty convenient. So we around 40 it's got here first hand. Okay, Questions. How has more Albin has being in a group lifted everyone up together? Or are some people staying completely isolated? Well, morale is probably as good as it can be in a quarantine. You know? No one's crying themselves this leaving him every night as far as I know. Well, I'm not crying myself to sleep every night anyway. I ever have. Seems fine. We have a big group, chap. There's 83 of us. I think that includes all the kids and such. There's about 60 people in the group chat, so everyone in there seems fine. Uh, yes, a morale. Morale is fine. There are. Like I said, 83. I haven't seen 83 people just in the communal area or whatnot. People still, you seem to be isolating themselves as much as they can. You see, you know, usually the same the usual suspects in the communal area most of the time. But even me, I'm just kind of staying in my room. Not because you feel like you have to. I'm sure some people feel like they have to. I'm just doing it because, you know, staying in your room or not. And yeah, do some people feel stuck there against their will? I can't really speak for everyone, but I'll do my best to answer that question. Um, I don't think so. We knew what we were getting into coming here like myself and a couple others. We weren't going to come unless we knew there was a quarantine waiting for us at the other end. Eso We all knew quarantine was happening. We all thought it would be much worse than this. We all thought it would be a derelict hospital on old N. H s facility. We're in a lovely student. Accommodation for nurses. The people in the world have been lovely. As I've said in the other videos, they've just been outstanding. I took a video of all the lovely cards they've sent. They've sent hundreds. 40 thousands of pounds worth of stuff like the tracksuit bottoms I'm wearing now. They're not mine. They were bought. They were sent in that thing. I said I put them on fresh this morning. These tracks about because the people, the community community, has just been fantastic. So they've been great to us yet? Eso No. We don't feel stuck here. We knew what was coming. We knew what we were getting in for, You know, day for 10 more days to go. Time is going pretty fast, I think. Hi, Ben. Do you self health check like temperatures etcetera daily, or does someone come to check on you? I actually just ask the doctor about that because I was a little confused myself. I wasn't 100% clued in on what was going on with checks I like. Obviously I'm asymptomatic. I don't have any symptoms. I don't feel sick. I'm fine. But I might be infected, You know, the with the long incubation period. So if I get tested today and it doesn't show up on the test today, I might still be infected and it could show up on a test in another week. That's why the quarantine is two weeks long. Because even if I'm infected, I get a test today it says, Oh, I don't have an infection. But then to 10 days from now on, my okay, test again. Oh, he does have the infection. Nothing has changed. I haven't seen anyone. But the virus itself has just manifested itself more to be checked. Um, is everyone very nervous about being sick? Being in the communal area kind of answer? The other question. There aren't too many people just in the communal area. It's not a big community, is just where all the food would come. So people come down, get the food, bring into their room. Obviously, there's a little bit of worry of being sick. I would probably be more worried if I was if anyone had, like, symptoms, if any of the 83 people that are here, if any of them were being treated as if they have the illness. But so far, as far as I'm aware, none of us are showing. Symptoms were all ground, But even so, I sneeze like three times Yesterday I was like, Oh, no, this is it. But it's not. It's just enormous needs, you know? So you're you're not worried. You're just a little Yeah. You don't wantto overthink it. Are you making friends there? Do you think that you all would have a bond now that you have experienced this together? I know a few people here who had the fun foreign community in Wuhan is fairly closing. It's tight knit for immunity and move. Man is fairly close together. So I knew a few people coming here. I've played poker the other day with a couple of people that I didn't know and one guy that I did know. Um but I we're not all here trying to make friends. We're just here trying tow, get through the quarantine, trying to make sure we're not infected. So but no one's making enemies. As you know, no one's really making enemies. Anyway. What was the story behind you going to hand in the first place? What did you do before he moved to hand? How long had you been there? I finished university in 2017. Andi, I was looking for a job, as all graduates do. So my email address was on a lot of job websites on. Then, just as I was starting a job, I got an email saying, Do you want to go to China? To teach? And I was like, Yeah, go to China to teach at It's literally a simple is that I got an email. Do you want to go China? Yes. I'll go to China. Why not? You know, see the world and earn money, You know, best of both worlds. Really? What did you do before you move there? I was in university studying psychology. And that's why I teach psychology. And I It's almost two years. Two years? Yeah, almost almost two years. Okay. No. What? Ben? What Ben teaches in school. And which grades? What sort of a teacher are you? While I teach psychology because I studied psychology in university I that grades. Mmm. What greys are they? What grades are they? They're 17. I should probably know the answer to this question. It's cause it's like it's set up like American High School. So they're only there for three years, so I don't know. I don't even know to answer that. If they were in Ireland or they'd be in fifth year, if they were in England. I don't even know what is that year 12. Great, I guess. 12th grade. I don't really know this. The Which grade there? Seven. Deed. There's 17. They're 16. 17. They're not. It's not their fight. It's there. It's there. Second final year. It's their penalty. Mature? Yeah. Will he ever return to China again? I will definitely go back to China The second I'm able to the second flights are available. Um, I'll head back. Got a job of my life there, So Yeah, as soon as I can, I'll be going back to China. Are you married or have someone I'm not married on? I don't. I am single. I was going to say I don't have anyone with that Sounds. That sounds so sad. No, I'm single and I'm not married. Married at 24. Seems a bit young. Would What do I know? Ben, Did you have anyone close in China that you Arkan concerned about on Miss On Door wants to return for? That kind of sounds like another relationship. Question. I have friends. Um, but it's not, like, not like a romantic person that I miss her ending. Um, expression. Where is your friend you went to you went shopping with, Went to shopping with Is she okay? She's still there. She's in Wuhan. She's got two cats, so she doesn't really want to leave them. You can't just go to America. She's American, By the way. I want to tell you. I want to tell you her name. Don't think she want that, but yet she still there. I'm in contact with her all the time to make sure she's grand. And she had. She's getting along, getting on with same boat I was in when I was there, I asked her How is? Will Hand It said It's pretty much the same. There's a couple more people out on the streets, but whether or not fairly, fairly similar I've been your attitude is infectious.

I'm just I'm just a normal guy in the situation, Uh, just tryingto stay upbeat in a bad situation, the way most people probably wouldn't. Anyway, people keep saying that to me is like, I wouldn't be able to do that if I was in your shoes, But you probably would. Like I say, no one here was freaking out every day. No one's crying themselves to sleep for you. Just get on with it. Once you're in it, you just do it, you know, and I just try not to try not to worry. And will you be ready for the popularity? Uh, I guess so. I guess so. Are you ever ready? Weird. But, um, if someone came up to the came up to me in the street, it was like a youtube guy. Like, I don't even know what I do. Yeah, I'll be like, Yes, that is me Corona virus guy. So I want to buy me a drink. That's that. That's fine. That's what I'm ready for. Almost finished. Um, what are you looking forward to doing when you get out? Well, there you go. Just what I just said. Good point. I will go because we're in the world, which is just across the river from Liverpool. And as I said, my mother brought that care package the other day, so I'll go over to Liverpool and stay with her for a bit on Dhe, go to a pub and get a good fresh pint. Um, yeah. That's because we have all the food here we could want. That's one thing you miss in China. Well, one thing I miss and Jen is the Western food, so Yeah, that's probably the thing. What are you on?
