Sorry people, but I have had a really rotten day today. I have a much needed day off work, and I went for a nice walk in town with my fiancee, who is Thai. Frankly, I am appaled at the amount of dirty looks she is getting because she looks 'asian'. It's like people seem to think she was the original carrier of this virus. They see an asian face and wince, or look disgusted.
This didn't just happen once, or twice, but multiple times. I had no dirty looks, but she had many.
I am shocked at the xenophobia and racism this has caused and I feel so upset for my Fiancee who isn't even from China.
What's more, after feeling fine this morning, I have suddenly become quite breathless when walking, and even doing normal things. Possibly this is due to tiredness, but after having a headache and an itchy nose the other day, I am not so sure. Especially with my line of work. Cough is usually present, but I don't have one. Just very breathless.
Will have to see tomorrow about how I feel.
