Countdown Day 10

There is plenty of food to eat but today I long for a comfort food. Sweet potato soup with fragrant pandan leaves 🤤

Home made is best because it only needs a hint of sweetness. There is no need to add too much sugar

The sweet potato has natural sweetness and is rich in Vitamin A and fibre

Remember Vitamin A is the body’s first line of defence against any infection

Facts about virus

POP

From the evidence so far, the virus can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather or cold snowy weather 😒

Women leaders versus the tough guys

These countries have fared better against corona virus

What do they have in common?

WOMEN were at the helm😃!

The quick decisive measures include, closing of borders ( painful for tourist industry ) , safe distancing, contact tracing, diagnostic tests, wearing of masks and isolation

On the same thread there is a tale of The Princess and The Prime Minister

Princess Diana (late mother of Princes William and Harry) in 1987 did something that history would remember forever: She shook the hand of an aids patient without wearing gloves. It changed the way the disease was viewed in an instant iconic moment

Fast forward to March 2020 The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the media

“I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands.”

3 weeks later he was tested positive for the virus and ended up at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

He has since recovered and the nation heaved a huge sigh of relief!
