I was browsing the Internet and came across some books, “The Eyes of Darkness” by David Koontz in 1981, and “End of Days” by Sylvia Browne in 1989. Did the American author really predicted the 2020 COVID-19 and named it Wuhan-400, where it mentioned that the virus was made and developed in a lab outside of Wuhan as China’s biological weapon? People are talking about the books and how closely it relates to the current coronavirus outbreak, but there are no solid proofs that there are any links between the two types of viruses. After all, writers do have spontaneous imaginations, so do not believe everything in books to be true.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia decided to decrease oil productions as Russia follows, driving oil sector stocks to the lowest prices since 1991. It will keep oil prices low across to foreign countries, and Russia sees it as an opportunity to slam the U.S. oil Industry businesses with super low oil prices. U.S. President Donald Trump is in the position to handle the ongoing issues of coronavirus , oil war price drops, and creating stimulus incentive plans to temporarily help Americans get through this period of time.
The economic impact is real and the crisis will not end anytime soon. In my opinion, the United States number of reported coronavirus infected and confirmed cases are too low and inaccurate compared to the rest of the world. We simply do not have enough test kits or routines to get all Americans tested in time. Not all people are getting tested as there are worries about having to pay extra out of pocket costs to deal with coronavirus.
Regardless of what the news media is saying, keep in mind that the best way to protect yourself is still by practicing appropriate hand wash methods to prevent the spreading of flu and viruses. No one knows how bad the situations would escalate as the confirmed coronavirus numbers increase in the next few days, weeks, or months. Remember, washing hands and staying clean are things that we can do to control or decrease the risk of getting coronavirus. Sing your way through your daily hand washing moments! Take care.
Who Am I: My name is Mary D. Lu, a self-funded woman entrepreneur, Business Owner/CEO of multiple e-Commerce businesses. I am a U.S. Army veteran and an investor. While my businesses are diversified, running online stores on Amazon and Shopify across sales channels, my deepest passion and love are in music, art, writing, traveling, and global communications. I am an independent explorer of new experiences. I believe in inspiring and influencing people from all backgrounds, building their confidence to see the world and living a more improved lifestyle.
What I Blog About: I absolutely enjoy new experiences of living and working remotely abroad in different countries around the world. Cooking cultural foods and dining are some of my favorite experiences during traveling. Over the years, I have found ways to fund my adventures throughout my journey: free airfares, free hotel stays, upgrades, transportation, dining, and more. Is traveling expensive? It depends on the traveler, budget, and season. I am a travel bargain hunter. I still eat great foods, enjoy local entertainments, and stay at convenient hotel locations. Traveling is helpful for building positive mindsets, discovering your own true spirit, offering life balance, and expanding perspectives around different world cultures, languages, and history. You can better connect with the world through foreign languages, cooking, music, and other shared hobbies, in which all experiences help contribute to world peace. I enjoy sharing my travel experiences with the world and hope that the information provided will help influence your next memorable trip planning decisions.
My Background: I was born in Macau, China and raised in Oakland, California, USA. My parents were Chinese immigrants from Vietnam with GuangXi province ancestors. I am the second born child and eldest daughter in a family of six children. I am fluent in a few world languages and can carry conversations in: English, Cantonese, Mandarin-Chinese, French, and basic Korean. I can also understand some Japanese, Vietnamese, and Spanish languages. My first French language study abroad experience was in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). I joined the military active duty service in the United States Army after high school to pay for college. After returning to California, my parents divorced. I became nearly homeless, but I worked and built my technical sales career during my 20s and 30s living in Sunnyvale, California. From being a call center representative working on shifts to managing sales accounts, support renewal contracts, and then from a sales enablement operations manager to managing my own inside sales teams, I can say that I have experienced a full corporate sales career in Silicon Valley. I purchased my first single family home when I was 30 years old. Finally, I wanted to bring all my skills to explore the real world, so I resigned from my corporate sales career by age 37, self-funded and jump started several businesses on my own. Life has totally surprised me since then.
My Hobbies:
Singing, listening to music, playing musical string instruments, live performances, exercising/workout, cooking, baking, dining, potlucks, holiday events, biking, drawing, painting, writing, photography, interior design, fashion illustrations, traveling, foreign languages, world cultures, martial arts performances, and more.
Feel free to follow Meriloo Adventures! I look forward to sharing and introducing you folks to various adventures and destinations around the countries, based on my own travel experiences. Life is too short. Let’s have fun exploring what real life have to offer and capture those moments in time!
