2020-01-27 兩所大學 LIC and Jamaica

I bought masks and I know I should wear it on the subway this morning,

but I didn't.

I am afraid that people will yell, "Go back to your country." to me.

The coronavirus stated in Wuhan has been spreading to many countries, and US has 5 cases.

To protect ourselves and others, everyone should wear a mask, 

but I don't think people will think that way. 

 I have seen that and I have experienced it.

It is so sad.
