Korea has the best quarantine system in the world...people who arrive to Korea, and have to stay alone( quarantine) for 2 weeks, clear for cov 19, and free to visit, and travel. Also for Korean people, government gives people 2 weeks of food, and other essential things such as toilet papers, sanitizers, water..etc.

I always thought hospital foods were gross and then was pleasantly surprised by a local facility - THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. It was before I was gluten free + dairy free (but was vegetarian already) - and the food options were so surprising. Crazy also to think that in a place that promotes health- the foods you are getting fed can be so nutritionally lacking ! - curious what the vegan/veg options are for these Korean quarantines

Hi Mike, thanks for your sharing about your mental health situation... really appreciate it. I’ve been following you for a while now, always see you so energetic and descriptive in your food adventures so I never really expected you to share about your own mental health state. This whole covid thing has been tough on everyone, some even more. Didn’t expect my own mental health to be that affected but now standing at end of March 2022, I begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hoping to be able to travel to Korea and Japan soon… I also miss Europe so much. Greetings from sunny Singapore! Hope you can come back to Singapore soon to film lots of food videos! 💪🏼💪🏼😂😂🥰

@Manisha Sinhababu yeah media portrayal is veryyyy different from reality. At least in the U.S. for adolescents. I can't speak for everybody but when I was a kid going in and out of mental hospitals (in two different states) they were all awful. the doctors where I was at were basically trying to drug everyone up, and most times I couldn't go outside. if I did, it was a small courtyard. unfortunately the way these places were structured, they made things for me far worse in the end. they would use punishment, tranquilizers and restraints to get people to behave. it was a pretty traumatizing experience for me. I wish it was like the K-dramas :/

If it hadn't been Covid, it would have been something else. The only people who have to worry are the ones with damaged immune systems, and that's unfortunately you. If your immune system is bad enough, the common cold can kill you, too. It's the immune damaged people who should isolate themselves from society instead of trying to quarantine the world indefinitely, because there's no way to stop every virus and infectious disease out there. Of course, you could try Thymus and Lactoferrin for your immune system, and a combination of food grade aloe vera juice, Borage oil capsules, and Boswellia capsules to improve your asthma, but I doubt you will. They have little to no side effects in the recommended dosage and are relatively cheap, but probably you prefer to give both your bank account and your life to increase Big Pharma's profits and promote Left wing politics. (So odd that the socialist Left all of the sudden trusts corporations with their bribes to politicians implicitly.) If that doesn't work, something else might. Where there's a will, there's a way, but first you have to have the will.

We got Covid last year at this time in America. We went to the ER and the doctor was mad as hell that we were there. They would not help us at all. We called clinic after clinic and no one would help us. Found a clinic with a doctor who had already had Covid who would see us. My husband had Covid Pneumonia, and other things. The doctor was surprised he was not in the hospital. He was sweating like someone was pouring buckets of water on the bed every day. I had bronchitis. We thought we were going to die alone at home. He was going off the road a bit here and there on the way to the ER and when we went to the clinic. It was terrifying. Then I waited the 3 months and got the first vaccine and had a bad reaction to it.

In South Korea at least, we've never had a complete lockdown like in Europe -- I believe it only crashes the economy and at least everyone around me is against the idea of strict quarantine. But we have different stages of prevention measures, albeit it gets quite confusing sometimes. I think what really helped us avoid the worst is that the government maximized the use of technology and eventually allowed the track-and-treat method to work properly.
