Has the Corona (COVID-19) changed your life so far?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I am now definitely never taking a cruise ship holiday. Being imprisoned in a shit shopping centre never was very appealing. All you dirty buggers who are only now washing your hands deserve to get norovirus.

No, but it could be a challenge of industrial proportions tracking down the contact chain if it were an epicentre. :D

I would have thought that because you handle money, tuk tuks whatever when you are outside your home then you would automatically wash your hands when you get home. I dump what ever I have bought home then wash my hands. No different than before this convid-19 thingy.

It has made me a better person, in many profound ways.

Then pick up all the diry bags you just dumped and put the virus in the fridge to preserve it smeared over all the containers you bought :-)
If you want to go nuts about it my brother in law used to wash everything in hot water before he put it in the fridge. he even scrubbed fruit ffs
There is a school of thought that says dirty hands make a heath immune system because you constantly get small exposures to bugs, giving you body a chance to develop immunities

I have given up on street food. I got used to breakfasting from whatever lady pedaled by on a bicycle. One of my faves: chicken noodle bean stew breakfast, 3000 Huns per bowl.

Now I eat cold peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast while peeping at the streets through my window blinds.

No fever, but I seem to be sweating a lot more than usual lately.
