For some people, no family gathering feels completely safe from the specter of coronavirus -- from weddings to funerals.
Two years ago, Xin Li, 31, married David Liu, 29, in a civil ceremony at the Beverly Hills courthouse that was video-streamed more than 6,000 miles away to her parents’ hometown of Hefei, China.“They were just on a friend’s phone video-chatting us and they saw the ceremony,” she said. “It wasn’t the same.”
The world’s attention has been focused on the raw numbers behind a frightening, new disease: More than 3,100 people have died as of Tuesday, with more than 93,000 cases of the disease reported around the world. There have been more than 120 cases confirmed in the U.S. Thousands of flights have been canceled, and, provoking fears of a global recession. Entire cities in China have essentially been locked down.
“We had been friends for 15 years and it hurt,” he said. “Some people probably thought I was crazy. But since then, I think they’ve seen I made the right decision. Doesn’t mean it was an easy choice.” “I see my friends out there on social media just blissfully unaware of what’s going on in the world,” he said.
“I don’t worry about contracting the coronavirus,” the writing assistant said. “I just get worried about being stuck on the East Coast if they cancel flights. Or not being able to come back home.”Jane Shay Wald, a partner emeritus of a Culver City law firm, was excited about attending the 142nd annual International Trademark Assn. meeting late April in Singapore. For years, it has been one of her favorite events to attend because she gets to see friends and peers from around the world.
Wald said after the change, she heard from many people who said they would not make the trip to the U.S.
