i don't know if you noticed but if a person who speak multiple languages switch between languages, their personality drastically changes too... like me la
Social Distancing here in Singapore is being practiced but some people don't follow it. In some coffee shops/food centres there are tapes in "X" placed on chairs and tables and also when you're queuing up for food a "X" is taped on the floor. We are also encouraged to practice it on our own and to avoid crowded areas. On Saturday (21st March 2020) we saw our first 2 deaths and our government placed more strict measures on our travel industry.
I'm not homeless but what I've noticed so far is that no one will give to anyone begging because of social distancing. I live in an area that doesn't accommodate the homeless so they're all still outside.
Danielle That‘s so sad :( In Germany they‘ve started this thing called “giving fence” where people will put all kinds of necessities (like toothbrushes, food etc) in bags and hang them at a fence in a city and homeless people are allowed to take that stuff. But many are still left behind, especially since they have to stay outside during this cold weather...
@@ipiinsih3655 Don't worry I will clear that up an tell you am not insecure 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks for your concern though. The reason I said it is because ever since the buzzfeed testosterone test which they we're all in the danger zone which doctors would prescribe them testosterone shots, it amuses me that every video has typical low testosterone guys lol it like they wont put anyone normal on.
Shout out to all the people who have to keep going to work to make sure there's food on the shelves, care for those less fortunate and public transport available for the people who are still going out to work. Without these people putting their health at risk the world would Stop! Thank you Service industry for still being there for me to buy food from, Lorry drivers for bringing the food in, NHS Staff for caring for us, Bin men for still collecting my rubbish, After school clubs and day care for helping us out now the schools are shut. I could go on and apologise if I've missed your industry. Without these people deciding to put others first and not social distancing, there would probably be a lot more deaths then this virus will cause. Thank you!
Probably a bit of vested interest, but a massive shoutout to all government employees that are still going to work to deliver financial/other aid to their country
I work in the local supermarket (I'm 16) and I've noticed how terrible some people are. People ignore the distancing and just walk over you. They ignorantly buy 10 of a product and shrug it off. This crisis is really ruining my view of mankind.
I have health issues as well Please stay healthy and safe. Hopefully you and your family will get to enjoy that big family trip to Florida soon. Have a blessed life. Thank you for taking the time to share
I'm from Florida. We will still be here when all of this is over. Right now Disney World is even closed. We are just soaking up the sun from our backyards
watching this makes me realized that we're in this together, we're in the same page, we're all anxious about this but everybody tries to stay positive! good one buzzfeed!!!!!! thankyouuuu
I hope you see them soon. We were supposed to see my grandpa we barely see but decided to cancel since we’d been possibly been exposed. I miss him terribly and I’m sure they miss you.
I'm from Singapore, and I would say that many businesses and institutions are prepared with work-from-home and business continuity arrangements, and the government is encouraging this wherever possible. Health and temperature checks, contact tracing, travel restrictions and even subsidies for people to visit the doctor are in place to curb the spread of the virus. There's a lot of change going on, but I'm positive that these measures have helped to keep our numbers relatively low despite being an open country with many in and outbound travellers.
Here in Canada, we're all told to stay home. my college closed and they recently figured out how we were going to finish my program and my and my college roommate are looking to move into an apartment by April, our work might be closing down, we are unsure of that at this moment. we are currently still within the residence though we are unsure for how much longer they will be letting us stay here.
I also live in Canada and I am also in college. In Toronto they told us on 16th or 17th of March that we had till Monday To leave are dorms. Luckily I was able to pack my stuff and I am now living back In my mums house. I have no idea when it we will be back in college though.

I'm in the UK, worked in theatrical supplies and got laid off before the financial compensation was announced. 3 months mortgage holiday on my 1 bedroom house, which helps, but still worried about my savings running out. Eating mostly pasta with tomato sauce, running errands for my elderly parents and keeping my cat company.
Kristina Miller i’m 16 and live in northern italy. i haven’t left my apartment in weeks, except for medical necessities (my joints are giving up on me hahahahahahahaha it’s not funny). i live in the suburbs of a little city, so i have no clue how downtown (the most populated and most beautiful place of the city) is doing. i know it’s not remotely as populated as it usually is. i recently began one hour long online classes: we chat a bit with our teachers, do school, and do it over again three to five times a day. our schedule has been drastically eased: instead of 32 hours of classes a week we do about twenty at most. but, we still have a lot of essays to write and tests to study for... which is not fun. yesterday my mom ordered food online, today we got our food. THAT was a blast. the most exciting thing that happened so far. among school, i try to keep myself busy and entertained by drawing, singing, playing music, working out (i do about 30 minutes of cardio - i have a cyclette here at home - 15 minutes of stretching and 15 minutes of other stuff. sometimes, i dance for another good 20 minutes. i highly recommend dancing!), writing, learning a new language (korean) and improving the ones i already know (other than italian, english, german and spanish), watching tv and movies. i’ve also been trying to read more. new daily cases aren’t on the rise anymore, which is great, but we really don’t know what to except. the health care system is collapsing and i’m craving physical contact, which i usually avoid. i’m spending a lot of time breathing disinfectant and touching with it, my skin is extremely dry, my knuckles are cracked. my mood fluctuates a lot, for no apparent reason. i won a scholarship (i would have left italy and lived in germany for a whole school year), but i had to put it down. the stock market is crashing, which is extremely dramatic, for a country such as italy. also, i’m terrified for southern italy, where my family and i are originally from. it’s not NEARLY as advanced and prepared and northern italy for such an emergency. but honestly, i don’t care. i only really wish for this to be over. i’m still trying to be positive, but it’s kinda hard. where are you from? how the situation where you live?
Don’t get me wrong, this virus is terrible. HOWEVER, it is also doing some good. The environment is becoming cleaner, people are spending time learning new things, doing hobbies, reading, cooking food at home, and spending time with their families. I think this virus is a realization that we all needed.
Same here, almost all I care about is keep drawing my comics. But I also have to ensure my family around is doing fine, especially my old dad who is the most outgoing one.
Here in Italy the situation is going our of control,we are gonna have the biggest economic crisis since ww2,if we aren't having that already. I live in Sardinia,and if the situation gets worse we aren't gonna receive food and other basic needs anymore.
The food situation will be interesting in America, since farms use a lot of labor from Mexico. Covid 19 has already been used as a reason for more border security.
I have to work because I am considered an essential worker, I'm glad to be because I wouldn't want to be laid off, also social distancing is hard because I have to talk to people face to face in close proximity. The great thing is that there are alot less people to serve.
0:27 all the Singaporean’s... what’s up homies!! SG has been taking precautions since the end of December but there isn’t quarantine just ppl have reduced going out too often 🙂
It is so hard to live alone at times like these. I try to stay in contact with family and friends, but because I stay inside all the time i've been feeling kinda lonely. It makes me appreciate my grandmothers, who also are living alone, and this is so close to their normal days, and I find that so sad.
Idk when this was filmed but on sunday some things changed for Germany... in some states here there is something that is called a contact ban meaning you can be in a small group of not more than 2 people at a time. exceptions are family, roommates who share a dorm and something where it can't be helped. In 2 (I believe) states there is already the ban on going out. Here in Germany every state can decide for themselves so I only know my state 100% and the 2 that have the ban on going out because it's been in the news
Y’all should do one for people who have to be at work. As a grocery worker I never thought I’d be worried going to work tbh. And as a small town, I never seen my place of business so busy.
Actually if u hv not noticed libraries literally put a sign in between seats talking abt social distancing and in some food courts like wwp there must be a one seat/ one metre gap in between sits so if that's not social distancing then IDK what is
@@taufiqsept um I think this is a debatable topic becuz it depends on certain places, cuz in my secondary school it's true we still sit side by side but we now have to take more precautions
I live in the Greater Kansas City, Missouri U.S.A area and we are officially on a Stay at Home order as of March 24th. We are not allowed to go out unless it is essential.
I pretty much lost everything. I’m a US born citizen but I’ve been living in Tijuana, Mexico for about 3 years now because the cost of living is cheaper in Mexico and because I was working in managing a small touring company in Tijuana. When all of this started getting more serious in the US they ended up not completely shutting down the border but they closed it off for anyone who isn’t a US citizen and only people with essential jobs are allowed to cross. Rumors are that if this doesn’t get better soon that they will close the border for good. Because of all this I lost my job, I lost my company, and I had to evacuate my home and return to live in the US with my Boy friends parents.
I wish they would have included more clips of the Spanish boy and the Italian girl, since their situations are worse at the moment.. but they were cut off a lot
I’m a foreign student in Japan. I don’t really see what she(Yuko, Japan) said so-called active social distancing here around me. For school, yeah. But for the people around me, I can’t agree with that. They still hold a farewell party and eat outside. Walking around hanging with friends. She said things are getting normal, but the curve haven’t flatten yet and the cases keep rising.But I agree with her word that there might be a spike of numbers in infections. Japan need serious action to prevent this from getting worse.
Situation in Guatemala: I'm a dentist and I haven't work since 2 weeks now because it's to risky. I stay protected but I do not gain any money. The president just anounce that in the following 2 weeks no one can go outside from 4pm to 4am. I would stay in home with my family and only go out once a week to the market. My parents are old so I'm worried for them and my sister has to keep working because she works in a hospital. I can't work from home and I can't go to work without put me and my family at risk so I'm really worried. We only have 36 cases but there is more than 1,000 people in quarentine because they were in contact with a person that tested positive to COVID-19. People doesn't want to stop working because the mayority of people here works day to day, doesn't have a monthly salary so COVID is affecting the economy.
In Germany, we're no longer allowed to go outside in a group larger than three, aside from direct family. We're only allowed to go out for things like grocery shopping, going to the doctor, walking your dog or checking in on someone. Nearly all public places are closed. The only things that are open are grocery stores and doctors offices/hospitals.
I'm from a place near Codogno, where the first patient was found in Italy, yesterday was a month since we found ourselves at home, during the first week we were still allowed to go out, but nowadays we can't go anywhere; it's boring, but I am hopeful that we will overcome this difficult time.
I’m in New Zealand and we’re on full lockdown. You can go out for the supermarket, pharmacy, for a walk or if you’re working in an essential service. There are police out to prevent anyone breaking the rules. So we’re safe here *fingers crossed*
When this is over I just want to go and give my 90 year old great grandma a hug. I miss her so much. I've been going to visit her and staying outside and talking through the door. :(
In the Philippines, the government is handling it poorly. The capital is in lockdown and almost all cities are in enhanced community quarantine which is fine however they do not have plans on how to tackle the pandemic medically. They are not providing PPE to the HCWs. Last week hospitals had to beg the public to donate PPE like face masks since they are running out of it. Some HCWs who work in Manila do not have a way to commute since public transportation are all suspended and they also dont have a place to stay. Some of them still rely on help from strangers online. The public has been demanding mass testing from the government but they said we dont need it now because we're still "fine". Last week we found out that VIP, mostly politicians, breached the testing protocol, got tested and got their results first before those who are under monitoring. Because of this, a doctor who closely worked with the infected patients died bc his test result got delayed for 4 days. Edit: imagine how jealous i am to that singaporean dude who confidently said that his govt handled the pandemic well. cant relate
I'm in the Philippines too. Sucks to be here. I used to live in the US and while I don't agree with everything they're doing there, I sure wish I was back there now.
I live in Switzerland on the border with Italy, and the situation is similar to the italian one here yet less strict. People keep going outside and don't fully follow the rules. Me and my family have been staying at home for the last 3 weeks, and I'd say soon the military will start monitoring the streets. We can't risk the cases spike more than they already are, we don't have many beds and hospitals are already at their limit.
Here in Australia we closed our borders, no overseas visitors. Before that people had to go into a 14 day quarantine. This week schools. Gyms, restaurants, pubs and churches are now closed. Take away food from restaurants only. Schools are encouraged to do online study, it’s our school holiday time. People are being reminded about Social distancing constantly by the government. Hospitals have very strict visiting rules. We can go shopping but online shopping is encouraged. We are in stage 1 I have no idea what stage 2 will mean if it comes to that. I guess at the end of the day we have to do what is needed to keep everyone safe and healthy. Our borders are closed for 6 months!!! I worry about our economy.
Stage 1 is getting the virus directly from tourists from infected countries Stage 2 is getting the virus without having contact with any foreigners.basically indirectly Stage3 is it being spread further.
It’s really surreal for me, watching everyone’s reactions to quarantine. Mostly because I understand all too viscerally, having been almost completely homebound for the past year due to developing a nerve disease that’s disabled me with fatigue and weakness. Before all this, people would always tell me, “That must be nice, though, getting to stay home and do nothing all the time, like an extended vacation! 😄” probably because I don’t “look” sick or like I’m actively suffering. As if being trapped in my home (in my body even), unable to...DO things, live, isn’t a hellish experience. I don’t think I’ll be hearing that anymore.
the few benefits of living in the suburbs where houses are spaced out, no one barely uses the sidewalks especially at night, so have no problem doing night walks when needed 😇

i am still attending school daily as schools are still open in Singapore, and there are more preventive methods being used such as wiping tables and chairs after every use and everyone has their own designated seats in lecture theatres, classrooms as well as in the canteen
In Michigan USA, social distancing started a week ago but today we were put on official lockdown order and can only go out to grocery shop or go on walks/runs etc. I am a lot more scared on how this will affect the economy and mental health than of the actual virus, can't wait for this to be over
I can totally relate to that guy from the UK. I saw one article describing how the virus affects its victims, and one line stuck to me "they look like they were drowning because they have so much fluid in their lungs". As someone who is considered high risk, that really struck a nerve. So I'm not taking any chances.
向洋 Nathan Hartono skdkskkssksk people either don’t believe it’s actually you in the video, or they’re commenting you’re cute haha! but tbh i’m slightly worried that most people in sg are just...super chill. i guess it’s business as usual (for the most part).
Thank you to the participants in this video. I am in the USA. It is serious where I am. Lockdown was started 2 days ago. Your insight has helped and this video shows as humans, we all are the same. Best health to all of you. This was a terrific idea for a video!
I am from Singapore and i don't want school to close. I feel that studying is very important and that online classes will not be a good as studying in school. Especially since i am taking PSLE this year. This is my opinion and i did not meant for this to be offending. You can disagree.
@@vernicelka Ah no, it's my bad for generalising. Since I'm already in secondary school, I kinda forgot that psle exists. But I hope the virus thing will end soon and best of luck!
I’m from Japan, just recently came back from Germany. Comparing with other countries like Latino America, China, Spain and Italy, Japan has not yet lockdown. People go to work, stores are open for certain time, people use transportation service as usual. Just recently the governor announced that districts like Tokyo, need to stay at home on weekends. I hope everybody is safe and healthy and this finishes soon. Stay strong and stay home.
In Australia and we are at the beginning of shut downs as part of social distancing. I am scared and already feeling trapped, I can only hope that things will improve and we can go outside again. Hope everyone is keeping themselves safe
German regulations actually changes 2 days ago. Some states have implemented a quarantine but it’s illegal to meet in groups of more than 2, only exemption being people you live with.
Awww this whole thing is so sad, my heart goes out to everyone 🥰 it’s also sad that literally the same evening this was posted things had already changed so much in just a few hours, uk is now on lockdown too 🥺
I'm from Scotland and I have asthma so I'm also at risk, the UK lockdown has just started today, I haven't left the house except a for a few walks and a few supermarket trips in the last two weeks - it's a bit scary and a bit frustrating. I haven't been to uni or the gym or to see my friends and my boyfriend in a different city. I hope everyone else copes well and this passes soon x
Social distancing does not exist here in Japan because coronavirus are just not taken seriously. The hurdle to test is just too damn high (4 consecutive days of fever, only then you may or may not get tested), so numbers are low, and people are so positive now, big cherry blossom gatherings and rock concerts are still happening, and no one washes their hands with soap after using the toilet.
Adults: I'm so bored. There's nothing to do.
Kids: So suddenly my teachers think it's okay to give me 15 different assignments all due in one day.
thing is u have the whole break to do it
Yeah😭✌🏻 2 weeks corona vacation and we have tasks we wouldn’t have been able to do in 4 weeks in school....
Think the bright side.. you won't have to see the teachers.
Kezia Editha Christy Atm ours are actually really nice😅 It’s just the enormous amount of exercises that kinda sucks
Oh gosh, in my school, we’re given over 20 assignmnents each wek and I’m just procrastinating.

Stay safe.
hope your family isnt in n.y..cuz its REALLY bad here.

among school, i try to keep myself busy and entertained by drawing, singing, playing music, working out (i do about 30 minutes of cardio - i have a cyclette here at home - 15 minutes of stretching and 15 minutes of other stuff. sometimes, i dance for another good 20 minutes. i highly recommend dancing!), writing, learning a new language (korean) and improving the ones i already know (other than italian, english, german and spanish), watching tv and movies. i’ve also been trying to read more.
new daily cases aren’t on the rise anymore, which is great, but we really don’t know what to except. the health care system is collapsing and i’m craving physical contact, which i usually avoid.
i’m spending a lot of time breathing disinfectant and touching with it, my skin is extremely dry, my knuckles are cracked.
my mood fluctuates a lot, for no apparent reason.
i won a scholarship (i would have left italy and lived in germany for a whole school year), but i had to put it down.
the stock market is crashing, which is extremely dramatic, for a country such as italy.
also, i’m terrified for southern italy, where my family and i are originally from. it’s not NEARLY as advanced and prepared and northern italy for such an emergency.
but honestly, i don’t care. i only really wish for this to be over. i’m still trying to be positive, but it’s kinda hard.
where are you from? how the situation where you live?
Damn that guy Nathan is so handsome :3
Fabian Barillas yes! Just everything together not only the looks. He seems like a really cool person
He sings really well too! Go check him out
He’s pretty famous in Singapore 😅
He’s a nice guy. Glad to be Singaporean. Hahaha 😂
He looks like a half white and a half asian. He's perfect 😳

Social distancing in Australia: VOTING THIS SATURDAY. EVERYONE GOTTA COME.
Wait what Election? Which state?
Ya not wrong lol wait is it this Saturday?
Pre-poll, and phone vote.
You don't have to go on the weekend.
@@MissLisaSwann QLD local elections. Somehow still going ahead. In person.
same in US 🤦🏽♀️
This is gonna be crazy to watch once this is all over / when everyone’s forgotten about this issue
Yeah. Hopefully this should pass in a few months.
SuperNoodle no we will still talk about it and debate😄
the global economic downfall will be hard for most pll to forget
I'm very worried about how things are here in Australia. We still haven't implemented any form of definitive quarantine plan.
BR PTP yeah. My school only just closed. It’s scary because we don’t seem to be doing enough.
Yikes! Let us know if that changes
This comment didn't age well
It's so cool that they are so diverse and have people all over the world
Except for the African continent- although there are a few cases there
No Australians :(
@@eaqua56 yeah I'm African too but I mean nothing we can do about it
zero latinos lmao
they should have also included non first world countries
Thanks for the opportunity BuzzFeed! Sending hugs from Spain to everyone around the world, stay strong :)
Que sorpresa verte por acá!
I'm from Singapore - and I'm still squeezing onto the train with hundreds of people every day.
Are you using 'squeezing' as a figure of speech, or are you really saying that the trains are full?
@@MalaysianTropikfusion Peak period trains still seem full to me. Malls are still buzzing with people round.
@@MalaysianTropikfusion I'm from Singapore, and i can agree that trains are ALWAYS full of people, even during this situation.
@@avilst1765 And hang on. Is it me, or is it the guy from SG is actually Nathan Hartono?
@@abanglongh5158 it is nathan hartono lmao wtf
Don’t get me wrong, this virus is terrible. HOWEVER, it is also doing some good. The environment is becoming cleaner, people are spending time learning new things, doing hobbies, reading, cooking food at home, and spending time with their families. I think this virus is a realization that we all needed.
Data Bass That’s so true!!
Ye but I feel bad for the extroverts who feel really alone and the people who are just on our phone all day :/
Ya, my family and I have been talking more and playing cards
Yup
dude there are dolphins back on the italian coasts!
that was something a lot of people never thought would happen due to all dem cruisers..
Was not expecting Nathan Hartono! Wtf! So weird, world's crossed!
Why is it weird?
I'm only here for Nathan Hartono but the video turned out to be a great one
It's crazy how fragile our civilization and the way we built it, and everything related to it
Literally nothing about my lifestyle has changed.
Imagine being an extrovert.
Same here, almost all I care about is keep drawing my comics. But I also have to ensure my family around is doing fine, especially my old dad who is the most outgoing one.
My sister literally can't stay in the house for more than 10 hours, she's an extrovert and she loves to go out. The only problem is she has asthma.
Here in Italy the situation is going our of control,we are gonna have the biggest economic crisis since ww2,if we aren't having that already.
I live in Sardinia,and if the situation gets worse we aren't gonna receive food and other basic needs anymore.
Damn I heard the doctors and nurses are starting to give up over there
*ravioli ravioli where is the ravioli*
I hope your situation gets better
My condolences for the effect this virus had in italy, Don't give up italy, you can do to through this
Im from Italy, Veneto
WTF are you saying? That Is not true.
The food situation will be interesting in America, since farms use a lot of labor from Mexico. Covid 19 has already been used as a reason for more border security.
I have to work because I am considered an essential worker, I'm glad to be because I wouldn't want to be laid off, also social distancing is hard because I have to talk to people face to face in close proximity. The great thing is that there are alot less people to serve.
0:27 all the Singaporean’s... what’s up homies!! SG has been taking precautions since the end of December but there isn’t quarantine just ppl have reduced going out too often 🙂
Hiba Nizami Sup bro!

It is so hard to live alone at times like these. I try to stay in contact with family and friends, but because I stay inside all the time i've been feeling kinda lonely. It makes me appreciate my grandmothers, who also are living alone, and this is so close to their normal days, and I find that so sad.
Idk when this was filmed but on sunday some things changed for Germany... in some states here there is something that is called a contact ban meaning you can be in a small group of not more than 2 people at a time. exceptions are family, roommates who share a dorm and something where it can't be helped. In 2 (I believe) states there is already the ban on going out. Here in Germany every state can decide for themselves so I only know my state 100% and the 2 that have the ban on going out because it's been in the news
Chrissi Harder thanks for sharing this Information.
👍🏼
Y’all should do one for people who have to be at work. As a grocery worker I never thought I’d be worried going to work tbh. And as a small town, I never seen my place of business so busy.
In Singapore, social distancing doesn't exist. There are still a lot of overcrowding in the trains during peak hours.
Actually if u hv not noticed libraries literally put a sign in between seats talking abt social distancing and in some food courts like wwp there must be a one seat/ one metre gap in between sits so if that's not social distancing then IDK what is
@@gladyslimd1858 In my uni, students still sit side by side. Heck even the foodcourt I still see people sitting closely.
@@taufiqsept um I think this is a debatable topic becuz it depends on certain places, cuz in my secondary school it's true we still sit side by side but we now have to take more precautions
Thank you, all for your honesty and strong attitudes. It gives me (a 60-year old retiree) a lot of hope for our future.
I live in the Greater Kansas City, Missouri U.S.A area and we are officially on a Stay at Home order as of March 24th. We are not allowed to go out unless it is essential.
B H same in Dallas, Texas
B H same in Seattle
I live in KCMO too!
I pretty much lost everything. I’m a US born citizen but I’ve been living in Tijuana, Mexico for about 3 years now because the cost of living is cheaper in Mexico and because I was working in managing a small touring company in Tijuana. When all of this started getting more serious in the US they ended up not completely shutting down the border but they closed it off for anyone who isn’t a US citizen and only people with essential jobs are allowed to cross. Rumors are that if this doesn’t get better soon that they will close the border for good. Because of all this I lost my job, I lost my company, and I had to evacuate my home and return to live in the US with my Boy friends parents.
Thank you so much again! 🙏🏼
Thank YOU!❤️
Extrovert and Ambivert: Omg this is boring i hate quarantine, i wanna go out with friends
Introvert: *Laughs in introvert* First time?
INTROVERTS UNITE!
Separately and in your own homes.
Here in Fresno CA, schools and most businesses are closed for the next few weeks. Only the essentials are open.
0:57 did this boi just wink at me???
I wish they would have included more clips of the Spanish boy and the Italian girl, since their situations are worse at the moment.. but they were cut off a lot
I’m a foreign student in Japan. I don’t really see what she(Yuko, Japan) said so-called active social distancing here around me. For school, yeah. But for the people around me, I can’t agree with that. They still hold a farewell party and eat outside. Walking around hanging with friends. She said things are getting normal, but the curve haven’t flatten yet and the cases keep rising.But I agree with her word that there might be a spike of numbers in infections. Japan need serious action to prevent this from getting worse.
I heard on NPR that people were out and crowded in the parks for the cherry blossoms.
Situation in Guatemala:
I'm a dentist and I haven't work since 2 weeks now because it's to risky. I stay protected but I do not gain any money. The president just anounce that in the following 2 weeks no one can go outside from 4pm to 4am. I would stay in home with my family and only go out once a week to the market. My parents are old so I'm worried for them and my sister has to keep working because she works in a hospital. I can't work from home and I can't go to work without put me and my family at risk so I'm really worried. We only have 36 cases but there is more than 1,000 people in quarentine because they were in contact with a person that tested positive to COVID-19. People doesn't want to stop working because the mayority of people here works day to day, doesn't have a monthly salary so COVID is affecting the economy.
Depression and being an introvert has prepared me for this whole staying at home situation.
same. boring and depression..
I try to keep myself more chill and claim ...
I live in Spain. Can confirm with the Spanish dude. We can't go anywhere.
Kai's foreign adventures gotta enjoy all those trips to mercadona...
@@KJ-iv3bg haha yes I have a new found appreciation for every trip I take to Mercadona
In Germany, we're no longer allowed to go outside in a group larger than three, aside from direct family. We're only allowed to go out for things like grocery shopping, going to the doctor, walking your dog or checking in on someone. Nearly all public places are closed. The only things that are open are grocery stores and doctors offices/hospitals.
Do you live in Bavaria?
Because everywhere else in Germany it's still allowed to go out, as long as you are not in a group larger than two people.
this is cool bc were all going through this and its cool to see what it looks like around the world
Not really! Egypt pretty chill rn
I'm from a place near Codogno, where the first patient was found in Italy, yesterday was a month since we found ourselves at home, during the first week we were still allowed to go out, but nowadays we can't go anywhere; it's boring, but I am hopeful that we will overcome this difficult time.
Dany C Questo periodo passerà❤️💪🏼
@@matisselife ne sono certa, basterebbe solo rispettare le regole correnti!
Wow! Nathan Hartono is in this video.
I'm from Japan but I love his voice.
I’m in New Zealand and we’re on full lockdown. You can go out for the supermarket, pharmacy, for a walk or if you’re working in an essential service. There are police out to prevent anyone breaking the rules. So we’re safe here *fingers crossed*
Off topic but that Italian accent is utterly adorable!
When this is over I just want to go and give my 90 year old great grandma a hug. I miss her so much. I've been going to visit her and staying outside and talking through the door. :(
Everyone: Spend time with family!
Me, almost 30 and all of my family is gone: ".... " Sweet, thanks.
The message at the end warmed my heart ❤️
„And that‘s why I‘m worried getting fat, because I just keep baking“ 😂 feel ya
...or keep frying food (probably worse than baking!)
In the Philippines, the government is handling it poorly. The capital is in lockdown and almost all cities are in enhanced community quarantine which is fine however they do not have plans on how to tackle the pandemic medically. They are not providing PPE to the HCWs. Last week hospitals had to beg the public to donate PPE like face masks since they are running out of it. Some HCWs who work in Manila do not have a way to commute since public transportation are all suspended and they also dont have a place to stay. Some of them still rely on help from strangers online. The public has been demanding mass testing from the government but they said we dont need it now because we're still "fine". Last week we found out that VIP, mostly politicians, breached the testing protocol, got tested and got their results first before those who are under monitoring. Because of this, a doctor who closely worked with the infected patients died bc his test result got delayed for 4 days.
Edit: imagine how jealous i am to that singaporean dude who confidently said that his govt handled the pandemic well. cant relate
I'm in the Philippines too. Sucks to be here. I used to live in the US and while I don't agree with everything they're doing there, I sure wish I was back there now.
*Hello* Everyone *from* the province of Brescia, *Lombardy* (North Italy)

stay safe. i hope & pray that everything goes back to normal soon, not only for yall but for everyone, basically.
Onika Cabello Grande omg stay safe i have relatives there too and they saying the same.
Hello vicino! From Padova, Veneto. ❤️ Andrà tutto bene. 🇮🇹
Italy is so beautiful, i hope it stops soon
Here in Sardinia the situation is going crazy,if the situation gets worst we aren't gonna receive food and other basic needs anymore.
I live in Switzerland on the border with Italy, and the situation is similar to the italian one here yet less strict. People keep going outside and don't fully follow the rules. Me and my family have been staying at home for the last 3 weeks, and I'd say soon the military will start monitoring the streets. We can't risk the cases spike more than they already are, we don't have many beds and hospitals are already at their limit.
3:47
It's better to say the government is overreacting/overreacted than look back and say they didn't do enough imo
Here in Australia we closed our borders, no overseas visitors. Before that people had to go into a 14 day quarantine. This week schools. Gyms, restaurants, pubs and churches are now closed. Take away food from restaurants only. Schools are encouraged to do online study, it’s our school holiday time. People are being reminded about Social distancing constantly by the government. Hospitals have very strict visiting rules. We can go shopping but online shopping is encouraged. We are in stage 1 I have no idea what stage 2 will mean if it comes to that. I guess at the end of the day we have to do what is needed to keep everyone safe and healthy. Our borders are closed for 6 months!!! I worry about our economy.
Stage 1 is getting the virus directly from tourists from infected countries
Stage 2 is getting the virus without having contact with any foreigners.basically indirectly
Stage3 is it being spread further.
This is a very informative video! Thanks to everyone who participated in this
It’s really surreal for me, watching everyone’s reactions to quarantine. Mostly because I understand all too viscerally, having been almost completely homebound for the past year due to developing a nerve disease that’s disabled me with fatigue and weakness. Before all this, people would always tell me, “That must be nice, though, getting to stay home and do nothing all the time, like an extended vacation! 😄” probably because I don’t “look” sick or like I’m actively suffering. As if being trapped in my home (in my body even), unable to...DO things, live, isn’t a hellish experience.
I don’t think I’ll be hearing that anymore.
god that italian girl reminds me so much of Marzia Bisognin
@ET yeah i knoww,,, hearing it makes me miss her channel here on youtube
☺️😘
the few benefits of living in the suburbs where houses are spaced out, no one barely uses the sidewalks especially at night, so have no problem doing night walks when needed 😇
Awwww!!! I love Joel & Lia’s channel!!!
I'm from Spain and it's great to know that in the other parts of the country it happens the same than at my city.
Quarantine in Malaysia:
Making dalgona coffee
The reposting story game on Instagram
Netflix
Maggi
Online classes
Sleep
*repeats everyday until the quarantine over*
i am still attending school daily as schools are still open in Singapore, and there are more preventive methods being used such as wiping tables and chairs after every use and everyone has their own designated seats in lecture theatres, classrooms as well as in the canteen
In Michigan USA, social distancing started a week ago but today we were put on official lockdown order and can only go out to grocery shop or go on walks/runs etc. I am a lot more scared on how this will affect the economy and mental health than of the actual virus, can't wait for this to be over
Farah Pitcher Hi, I had been living in Okemos, Wayne County!
Aren‘t you afraid of all the ppl you love getting killed by this?
I can totally relate to that guy from the UK. I saw one article describing how the virus affects its victims, and one line stuck to me "they look like they were drowning because they have so much fluid in their lungs". As someone who is considered high risk, that really struck a nerve. So I'm not taking any chances.
Thanks for having me (: Hang in there, World!
向洋 Nathan Hartono skdkskkssksk people either don’t believe it’s actually you in the video, or they’re commenting you’re cute haha! but tbh i’m slightly worried that most people in sg are just...super chill. i guess it’s business as usual (for the most part).

Here in Singapore, students just want school to close 😂😂
I am from Singapore and i don't want school to close. I feel that studying is very important and that online classes will not be a good as studying in school. Especially since i am taking PSLE this year. This is my opinion and i did not meant for this to be offending. You can disagree.
@@vernicelka Ah no, it's my bad for generalising. Since I'm already in secondary school, I kinda forgot that psle exists. But I hope the virus thing will end soon and best of luck!
@@quaxkkk Thanks! Good luck for your upcoming exams(if you have)
@@vernicelka Nah no exam but I have weighted assessment which replaces my mid yrs so ya, hope I pass xD
Good luck. Hope you ace it!
I’m from Japan, just recently came back from Germany. Comparing with other countries like Latino America, China, Spain and Italy, Japan has not yet lockdown. People go to work, stores are open for certain time, people use transportation service as usual. Just recently the governor announced that districts like Tokyo, need to stay at home on weekends. I hope everybody is safe and healthy and this finishes soon. Stay strong and stay home.
“I’m holding on because of my cat” I can relate
In Australia and we are at the beginning of shut downs as part of social distancing. I am scared and already feeling trapped, I can only hope that things will improve and we can go outside again. Hope everyone is keeping themselves safe
No one from Philippines? I think somebody from the Philippines can tell something about the social distancing situation in the country.
German regulations actually changes 2 days ago. Some states have implemented a quarantine but it’s illegal to meet in groups of more than 2, only exemption being people you live with.
Notice how australia wasn’t there? Yeah, because we aint social distancing
Neither are indonesians since most of them are just plain braindead
Awww this whole thing is so sad, my heart goes out to everyone 🥰 it’s also sad that literally the same evening this was posted things had already changed so much in just a few hours, uk is now on lockdown too 🥺
I am in Italy too so it’s very difficult
CashBwin Yes!
Italiano?
Stay Strong!!

I'm from Scotland and I have asthma so I'm also at risk, the UK lockdown has just started today, I haven't left the house except a for a few walks and a few supermarket trips in the last two weeks - it's a bit scary and a bit frustrating. I haven't been to uni or the gym or to see my friends and my boyfriend in a different city. I hope everyone else copes well and this passes soon x
Social distancing does not exist here in Japan because coronavirus are just not taken seriously. The hurdle to test is just too damn high (4 consecutive days of fever, only then you may or may not get tested), so numbers are low, and people are so positive now, big cherry blossom gatherings and rock concerts are still happening, and no one washes their hands with soap after using the toilet.
