    I had zero fear. You wanna know why not?

    I was an essential worker, working 12-15 hour days at a large harma retail chain. I didn't watch any news!

    Middle of January, 2020, I was in the airport of Narita, Tokyo, ready to go back home. Suddenly people began to feel nervous, they were watching on their mobile phones some kind of virus had unleashed in China, no one knew what was happening. A few hours later we saw the passengers who came from Beijing surrounded by doctors. Who could imagine that would go so far from there?
