It's me, Megan Monroe.

We are in Wuhan, it's day three.

I'm gonna make some salsa that reminds me of California.

Stay safe, wear a mask, wash your hands

and stay out of populated areas.

Happy New Year!

(calm music)

Welcome to day four of the Wuhan quarantine.

We talked to a doctor in the United States

and he had two really important things to tell us.

First of all, the virus is not independent from the carrier,

which means that as long you're not sharing food

or sneezing on people, you'll probably be okay.

The second thing is that

the virus is a symbiotic relationship.

It doesn't wanna kill us, it wants to live inside of us.

Creepy, I know.

Just because you're sick doesn't mean

that you have viral pneumonia.

If you have viral pneumonia,

that does not mean that you're going to have SARI,

and if you have SARI,

that doesn't mean that you're gonna die.

The virus can heal itself if it's only a small infection.

So, we just need to stay inside,

isolate ourselves for two weeks,

hang out, try not to get bored. (laughs)

Welcome to Wuhan quarantine day eight.

So, I've been doing some research about Wuhan

because there's more to the area than just the virus.

First of all, Wuhan is metropolitan area

and it's divided into three separate towns.

So, the first town is Haikou,

which is where the virus actually started

because it's so very densely populated.

The second city is Wuchang,

which is where over 100 universities are

which is super duper cool.

And the final one, where I live, is Hanyang,

which is by a lake, a beautiful lake,

and there's over 160 lakes in Wuhan alone

and this one is called San Jiao Hu,

which means triangle or delta lake.

So, we're staying inside for the next two weeks,

staying safe, Wuhan, we're with ya.

I just wanted to say that everybody's scared of the virus.

Everybody here is doing what they can to protect themselves

and their families and helping others.

Our neighbor is a doctor and he's been bringing us food,

and everyone, as I can tell, is staying inside.

I'm in the lobby of my apartment right now,

this is the lady that works at the front desk

and we're not afraid of the coronavirus.

I've been through a lot of stuff in my life,

I went through the swine flu scare in my elementary school

and in Northern California, during college,

I went through two different fires.

Wuhan, (speaking in foreign language).

Welcome to day 11 of the Wuhan quarantine.

I just wanted to say that I came to China

not only to teach but also to learn about the culture,

which is pretty easy to do

when everybody's freaking out about a virus.

There's another plane that's going back to America

and I've decided against going on it

because I'd rather be in my apartment alone

as opposed to being on airplane

with 200 possibly infected people.

Today is beautiful and sunny compared to the rain yesterday,

so I decided to come to my office

which is in the same apartment complex as my apartment

and get a little bit of work done.

We've been offering free classes to our students

so that they keep learning pronunciation and public speech.

And another thing that's super duper cool

is if you look right over here,

there's a brand new hospital that Wuhan built.

It seats 1,000 people and it's just about two lakes away.

So, stay safe, have a wonderful day

and Wuhan, we got you.

I've been spending my time inside,

learning just a little bit of Chinese

and I wanted to share it with you.

So, first I learned how to say

(speaking in foreign language),

which is how you say thank you.

(speaking in foreign language) is hello.

(speaking in foreign language) means big baby

'cause that's what I am,

and (speaking in foreign language)

which means come on, Wuhan.

Everybody have a wonderful day, stay safe and (blows kiss).

(upbeat music)

Oh!

Hi, guys, it's me, Megan Monroe.

It's day 17 of the Wuhan quarantine.

Today's the lantern festival

so we're supposed to be eating mochi soup

but I decided to make scrambled eggs instead.

I hope everybody takes care and is safe today

and have a lovely day.

Welcome to day 19 of the Wuhan quarantine.

Today, I wanted to talk about

three different problems that I've had.

The first one is the fact that

a lot of people are asking me if I'm sick

and the answer is yes.

I'm sick of being stuck inside all day.

I go to the grocery store but not really anywhere else.

The second big problem that I've been facing

is the fact that there's no Mexican food in China,

and I'm sure that the quarantine is just making it worse,

but I have yet to find Mexican food in China.

The third problem is the fact that,

with all the shops closed,

I haven't gotten my hair cut in about a month

and so, I need somebody to come and tame this beast.

Anyways, I hope everybody has a wonderful day,

stay safe, stay warm,

and Wuhan, (speaking in foreign language).

I came to China so that I could ultimately live my dream

and become a theater and dance teacher for little kids,

and I'm just gonna stick it out

because I'm bigger than this virus,

it's not gonna get me.

I have my whole life ahead of me.

So, I hope everybody has a really nice day,

stay safe, and Wuhan, (speaking in foreign language).

Hi, guys, it's me, Megan Monroe,

welcome to day 21 of the Wuhan quarantine.

We have to get a paper now

so we can sign out of the gates where our apartments are

and they can only let us out about once every three days.

So, that's gonna be a little bit crazy

but stay safe and have a nice day, no matter what.

(calm music)

I learned this tongue twister two days ago

when I first went live.

(speaking in foreign language)

Welcome to day 30 (sighs)

of the Wuhan quarantine.

I said in one of my other videos

that I'm learning how to speak a little bit of Chinese,

so (speaking in foreign language) means big baby,

and I call myself a (speaking in foreign language)

because I'm very cute and sweet,

and I really like things that are small...

So, this is a normal sized strawberry,

(speaking in foreign language).

So, I hope everybody's having a great day.

I'm feeling a lot better

because I got a lot of fresh air today.

Yes, I'm actually in China,

otherwise I wouldn't be holding this fish

and that sign right there would be in English, not Chinese.

So, please stop doubting me

or I'll come hit you with this fish. (laughs)

Welcome to day 38 of the Wuhan quarantine.

The way that groceries get delivered in my area

is someone will come from the outside

and drop a bunch of them off at the basketball court

and then volunteers will come and distribute the food,

like what I did the other day.

But today, I got something very, very,

very, very important.

I got this huge bag of bread.

I've already eaten two donuts and a cream cheese roll

and I promise I'm not gonna eat it all today,

I swear, that would be a bad idea.

Anyways, I hope everybody has a really awesome day.

Stay safe, stay tight,

Wuhan, (speaking in foreign language).

It's me, Megan Monroe, and I made ribs.

And they're delicious and they're cooked to perfection

and I'm gonna eat them with my mouth.

Thank you.

Hi, guys, it's me, Megan Monroe.

Welcome to day 39 of the Wuhan quarantine.

My parents sent me a care package about a month ago

and I finally got it just the other day.

It had beans and rice and salsa,

along with masks and hand sanitizer.

I ate the beans and rice up very, very quickly

'cause I was quite excited.

But it also came with my favorite pepperoncinis and pickles

and as you can tell, I really, really like pickles,

it's only been about five days.

I have no shame.

But I wanted to give a big shout out

to Mike, Dee Dee and Molly Monroe.

I love you all very, very much

and thank you to everybody on TikTok

who's been supporting me.

But if you're one of the people that's in the comments

telling me you wish I was dead,

cut it out, that's not cool. (laughs)

I hope everyone has a great day though, mwah.

Hi, guys, it's me, Megan Monroe.

Welcome to day 42 of the Wuhan quarantine.

So, I've been reading the news

and apparently, the virus has spread to America,

Italy, Korea and Japan, among other places.

So, if you have a stuffy nose or you're sneezing,

you probably don't have the virus

but if you have a dry cough

and you're having trouble breathing,

I'd get checked out!

Like I said in the beginning for everybody in Wuhan,

now it applies for everybody around the world,

stay out of crowded places, wash your hands,

wear a mask and hope for the best.

Anyways, whole world, Wuhan,

(speaking in foreign language).

We've had to go back and forth picking up groceries today,

so we're just trying to hang in there

and not get too tired.

And also, when people go grocery shopping,

usually they make a list for the entire week

so that they can get a big thing of groceries

and I want everybody in Wuhan to do that

so that we don't have to keep going back and forth

annoying the volunteers.

Wuhan, (speaking in foreign language)!

It's beautiful outside, it's sunny.

I'm having a nice day, but there's a lot of volunteers

who have to sit outside of buildings

and we're going to pick up our groceries right now.

Volunteers help with that too,

so we have to go back and forth

because we placed a lot of orders today

but that's gonna be fun, we're getting eggs

and I'm having a nice time.

(calm music)
