Coronavirus & Me: Ben Kavanagh’s journey - from quarantine in Wuhan to Wirral

Irish teacher Ben Kavanagh has become an unexpected internet sensation.
His videos for Channel 4 News of everyday life throughout the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic have been watched by millions, offering a unique insight into what it's like to be caught up in the middle of a global outbreak.
From exploring Wuhan's deserted streets to being held in quarantine for 14 days, Ben has filmed every step of his journey.
He has shown what everyday life is like behind the headlines which have swept around the world.
Braving a city in lockdown to go shopping. Spending his birthday in his flat alone as the virus rapidly spreads through China. Being evacuated to the UK. Living for over two weeks in quarantine - and finally being reunited with his family.
This is Ben's complete journey.

    Yes! I received an E-mail from a Chinese company I'd ordered some auto parts from, satisfied with the trade off of low price for the usual 2 to 5 week shipping time, that said, "Sorry, we are preparing a refund of your purchase price due to the shutdown the Corona virus has caused. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause." I teared up, INCONVENIENCE?? God man! What's MY inconvenience compared to yours? I replied, "Don't worry, I will wait and not complain to eBay about any delay. We in America send you and your country our best wishes for health and recovery of business. Be well."

    So glad he and the others weren't infected. I really enjoyed watching his journey throughout this epidemic and I hope that he can eventually return to China to continue his daily routine.

    For real i teared up when i saw his mum greet him! As a mum, i know those feels! Her son all the way in China and this outbreak happening and then not knowing what is happening first hand. It must be really hard for those in quarantine and their families. Also, broke my heart seeing that puppy, knowing it has been abandoned, probably not out of choice by the healthy condition of it. :'(
