Elsabé Henning:
"My two children are teaching English in China. They have to wear masks whenever they go out. I am not worried about them because I feel that when your time comes there is nothing you can do about it.

Chené Claassen:
"The way the virus is spreading it seems like we're all going to die. We should all just eat lots of chocolate before that has a chance to happen."
