9:34 am
a single night. we visit young song at his home a year after the corona virus outbreak he and his wife are still very wary of the virus the family voluntarily stay 2 months longer in quarantine and they do it again due to a lack of faith in their government. the greatest concern now is how to survive financially. the pandemic has had major economic consequences for everyone that's why i have a province has decided to make leisure parks and tourist attractions free of charge hopefully that will help boost consumer spending. this is healthy. they now fear a 2nd wave which would make their financial situation critical even so they're proud of their country and of themselves for getting through the lockdown. sure it was frustrating i just wanted to go out. and then i no longer have an income but
