Adverbs of degree

I'm a former scientist and science comedian.

I am an actor and stand up comedian from Taiwan, and we created the Asian strike back, a Corona virus comedy and science show.

I'm feeling very anxious, as I'm sure many of the people on the house are these days.

Uh, not because of the Corona virus, but because you've gathered 100 people.

The Asian Strike Back, a Corona virus comedy and science show, is a variety show that we created together bringing together standard comedians, musical comedians with scientists, including a couple of signs comedians way just wanted to be able to tackle both the social issues around epidemics like this that are constantly, you know, racialized but also just make people laugh and myth bust at the same time.

I saw it as a comedy show with very helpful knowledge, so she would be scared of fires.

Unless your old man I'm sorry way decided to put on a show because around the time the coronavirus was kicking off, we were, like, just really feeling the pressures and the pain of our community worldwide, of people blaming Asians in general for this new outbreak of something we don't know.

What is the show about the virus, Theo and lyricism.

And I also wanted to combat misinformation with science.

Thing that gives me the most anxiety is that I know how many people in the room don't wash.

I don't I think one of the things a lot of people didn't realize, especially when they were reporting the outbreak of the Corona virus as it was first coming out, was that it would be accompanied with increases not only in microaggression, but just in in your face kind of racism.

Ever since this whole Corona virus thing started, there's only been maybe one night when people weren't means Asians on the Internet.

1000 parasites so weird to just because of my skin color, people assumed that I carry the disease or more prone to the disease, or that they should shy away from me to keep themselves protected Sorry, girl, but is very think so.

At the top of the show, we walked out with bras on our faces.

Actually, we walked out with Esther's bras on both our because she just she didn't want to sacrifice her broad.

This is called the Asian Asian Whitening Mask.

This is what you wear to the beach if you don't want to get one of the things I wanted to tackle immediately with the show airs are myths and misconceptions around face masks.

And so Esther did bits where she just kept putting on different masks, was useful for bathing people.

Yes, Corona Virus Protection knew my college production.

The non union Romeo and Juliet is the reason why the surgical masks work is because it contains it.

But also when you're the one being sprayed at, it's all your holes on the face.

So just like wash your whole phase, wash your hands, stop touching your face.

Yeah, I love touching moments broke millennial.

I cannot even afford to ever go to Asia like I'm so broke.

We had a very special last minute dropping guest.

We don't know where he came from, but he claims he is from.

He wants to get out of this small town reaches outrageous king reminiscing, and I'm highly contagious.

I think one of my biggest takeaways doing the Corona virus showed there still so many misconceptions.

And we allow our fear to get ahead of us.

This is gonna be an exercise about how to face our fears about Corona virus.

And I'm gonna need some audience volunteers.

Okay, also, please stop hoarding face masks and anti bacterial hand sanitizers because they are for people who are most vulnerable.

And more importantly, please protect people who are elders, immuno compromised persons with disabilities.

It's a shared experience amongst everybody.
