I am a Singaporean living in the UK with a british husband and am pretty settled (mortgage, job etc). Honestly, coronavirus scares me, not just the virus but mainly because of the racist attacks against people of east asian appearance and the economic fallout (which would probably make the public blame Chinese people even more). I am lucky in the sense that both hubby and I work from home, we are able to pay our mortgage and we have a full pantry. No baby yet but after this covid 19 experience, I am definitely not having more than 1 child because i feel scared about being able to protect 1 child, let alone 2. There have been reports of an entire Asian american family being stabbed in a restaurant in the USA because the perp thought that they had coronavirus and the youngest child was only 2 :( Also, as this is the first big recession I encountered in my working life (I was in secondary school during the 2008 recession); I am reminded even more strongly about how important it is to have a savings fund; so many people have lost their jobs(and that number would only increase) and given the shortages in the supermarket for basic goods, I am not entirely sure how people on a shoestring budget cope. The only reason I have a well stocked fridge is because I am more liberal with my food spending, which isn't an option if you have a bigger family or are on a tight budget. Basically, I feel like the carpet has been pulled under my feet, and I have so many worries. Not just covid, but also for my safety (I feel scared when I go out because there are some men who look at me in quite an aggressive way, so I don't go out even for exercise) and future financial security (thankfully I live in a very nice London suburb). Anyone else having the same fears?
