After analyzing it several times, I think she was the one who sneezed in front of me. She was a woman in her 30s probably. She sat behind me, but she came up to me and gave me her mobile phone so I could see the photos of the tourist sites she had visited. When I turned to ask her more, she sneezed at me.2. I was very scared because it was a new disease, so there was no way to cure it. At that time it began to spread in China and I never thought that I would be the first case in Thailand. I felt very scared and did not know what to do. The truth is that I cried, I got very sad, I thought my life would be very short.3. When I started working again, the first passenger wanted to get off. He must have been scared because of Covid-19. That boy must be really scared. Honestly, I cried and thought that I would not be able to work as a taxi driver again. Everyone saw me as a contagious disease. I felt very bad and did not know what I would do in the future.4. I think I am stronger than before. I usually go to the doctor to donate blood every 3 months, and I take advantage of each time I go to examine my body as well.
