"I am now scared of going anywhere."

I am sharing my story hoping you could help Asians to stay alert. I never imagined it actually happens to me. I was wrong. I was about to go outside of the building where I reside [and] there were three men passing by. One of the men … yelled “Corona” at me. They walked on. Then after two seconds, the same man came back and yelled louder at me again, “Coronavirus! Coronavirus everywhere!”

I was so frightened that I felt frozen, I could not even think of running back inside the gate, just stood there…

It happened right in front of my condominium building in a quiet residential area. I am now scared of going anywhere.
