Sorry all, I had to quit my self-imposed home quarantine after a week. I take my hat off to all of you who have finished a two week quarantine, because it's really not easy.

Today I went to see Teacher Tony for a haircut, and went to enjoy one of my favorite stores in the city: Shanghai Book City. They recently re-opened with strict measures for entry to control novel coronavirus, so I got to use my health QR code for the first time.

The store even has a special area set up especially for books on epidemic control, with lots of newly minted books on novel coronavirus. I bought two, which I'll definitely keep as souvenirs of this testing time in China.

Check out the latest vlog above.
