  • The coronavirus outbreak seems to be slowing down in China, but is everything getting back to normal? Well...it's on the way. In this video i will talk you through a bike ride around the city of Xi'an and hopefully it will give you a glimpse of how things are looking here in China.
    Covid-19 is taking grip all over the world now, it's time for more action from governments around the world to try to shut this thing down.

    Great video. Apparently, around 750 people die a day in China from car accidents and 4500 from air pollution! So, a silver lining may be that fewer people have actually died over the last month or so...? Rather bizarre, would be fascinating to see some studies done on this. I am glad life is getting back to normal, it shows that there is hope for all the other countries!

      fatalities from Covid-19 : 3100
      let's say a reduction in traffic saves 300 people a day, then 300 x 7days x 6 weeks = 12600
      so Coronavirus saved 9500 people in less than two months...........maffthhs

    As a Local Xi'an person, every road seems to be so familiar and so weird as there were nobody out on these roads. Me and my whole family stayed at home during the lockdown and I didn't even get a chance to go out back then, as my parents are the ones who went out and buy stuffs for one week and we would stayed in for a week. I'm kind of curious about the university you're working, as my parents are also university teachers, plz tell me if it's okay to tell. Love your videos.

      Sorry, i saw your comment there but i guess you deleted it before i had time to read it fully. Apologies if it annoys you, actually I am riding carefully on the correct side of the road and am almost always in bike lanes, (unless the road doesn't have one) but honestly...they are usually full of people looking at cellphones, have bikes riding the wrong way down them (as can be seen in the video) and parked cars. And i don't think i rode in the fast lane at all...only when i was turning left (which is the only way to turn left) Anyway, sorry if it annoys you, but i'm not breaking any traffic laws...at all. Did all of the people riding down the wrong side of the road annoy you?
