Hearted Youtube comments on Asian Boss (@AsianBoss) channel.

  1. They’re all surprisingly nice and welcoming towards foreigners, which made me realize that I had some wrong stereotyped image for Japanese elders.

  2. When the man started getting choked up about something as simple as being welcomed.. Man.. That hit me hard.

  6. I found this entire video fascinating and very eye-opening. Being able to hear various opinions from people living in a different society is very educational. I appreciate Asian Boss' efforts to promote open and honest discussion of interesting and important (and possibly controversial) topics.

  7. I think we should also commend the two speakers featured in this video. Both of them made really sound arguments. This is such an insightful and informative discussion.

  9. This video encapsulates very well what 'affordability' or 'comfort' can mean to different people. The financial advisor bro was definitely very privileged- 10k a month allows one to live in a large home/condo in a good location, dine out often, and probably travel twice a year, and with extra savings too. Nothing wrong with that, it's just what 'a comfortable life' means to him- which are 'luxuries' to many others. It was also heartwarming to see the old lady with such a positive attitude. For one to believe that $300 is enough to lead a comfortable life in Singapore, it reflects how much is being done to take care of those in need. From my understanding, for the poor, basic necessities like housing and healthcare are heavily subsidized, and there are various support networks for these households to receive donations in the form of clothing, food and daily necessities. Many Singaporeans don't even see this side of Singapore, much less foreigners, so kudos to the Asian Boss team for this video. It helped me to appreciate what I have and not take things for granted.

  10. I have seen hundreds of interviews where they experience how they are doing but after the completion nobody goes back to check how they are doing. This is the first time someone has gone back help them personally to improve their living conditions. And whats the most amazing thing about grandma is when she said," i am not complaing" Hats off to Asian Boss Keep making us curious

  11. Jeez this was wild. But honestly I really appreciate Asian Boss putting up these videos even while they and the majority of viewers might disagree with the content. Y’all are really so dedicated to sharing everything that’s going on and that’s huge 🙏🏼

  13. Loved this interview and typed up some notes for those interested: Who is most at risk? - Highest death rate is in the elderly. - 0.1% for 30 and 40 year olds Can you get the flu again? - Usually people who get the flu, the bodies develop antibodies and they recover in 2 weeks and don't get sick again. - For Covid, people who have been discharged are getting the virus again . How do you get infected? - 3 ways to get infected: 1. Droplet Transfer: Directly being coughed or sneezed on by someone and being with their droplets. 2. Indirect Transfer: When patient coughs or sneezes and the droplets land on keyboards/tables/doorknobs. Virus can survive up to 3-4 days on surfaces like tables/door knobs, and 1 day for fabric/clothes. 3. Direct Transfer: When someone coughs/sneezes on hands and you shake their hands and subsequently touch your face/mouth/eyes etc... Can you get it just by breathing? - Yes, Aerosol Transmission possible in certain cases (i.e. Airborne transmissions) - Airborne transmission likely in densely packed areas. But, in outdoor environments and not in closed spaces, not as likely through airborne transmission. What are the symptoms of the virus? - Loss in appetite, mild aches, fevers, sore throat, difficulty breathing. - 30% of those who get the virus can't smell or taste anything - Lose your sense of smell or taste Can you get infected if it's on skin? - You get infected by virus going through eyes/mouth/nose because there are mucous membranes in those areas. - However, you can't get the virus from it just being on your skin. That's why it's important to wash your hands. How effective is wearing mask? - Very effective. - In the west, not many people wear masks which is odd. The US Surgeon General and WHO recommend people not to wear masks, but he disagrees. Wearing mask is extremely effective. - They probably said that so medical ppl can have more masks and normal people stop hoarding. - If everyone wears masks, there will be less infections in general. WHO encourages normal people not to wear masks. But in Asia, because of cultural differences, they encourage ppl to wear masks. - As a result, US/Europe spreading much faster than Asia did. If it gets warmer, will the virus go away? - Hard to predict, but won't go away quickly. - Several scenarios: - 1st Scenario: Covid ends like SARS did when it got warmer. SARS started in Nov 2002 and ended July 2003. But, back then people travelled less and infection was much smaller (mostly Asia + Canada only). - For Covid, IF the whole world cooperates, it can end by July/August 2020 and it won't infect people again. However, only 10% probability this may come true. - 2nd scenario: Covid stays in the summer and it'll spread to southern hemisphere when it's their winter and it'll come back again in our winter. Just like regular flu cycle. - 3rd scenario: we develop a vaccine and put a end to it once and for all. But this scenario is difficult to achieve. - Inventing a new vaccine usually takes 10-15 years and costs US$800M. Covid is not even 100 days old. Doctors have only had 2 months to understand their DNA structure so far. - At fastest, IF everything goes smoothly (big if), and it'll take 18 months if all goes well to develop vaccine. - However, even if US / China develops a vaccine, would they share the vaccine? Also, it'll be impossible for US with 320million population to vaccinate everyone. It becomes a choice of priority. Who gets the cure first? What cures are being used now? - Best thing we can do is "drug repurposing": - Try to find a drug that's being used to treat another disease that can also be effective for Covid. - Ex. A drug that is used for Malaria was found to be somewhat effective in treating Covid and used for critical patients right now. - Another way: - Take the blood of patients who recovered and use the antibodies in the blood to give to critical patients. So recovered people should donate their bloods if they can. Any last comments? - Currently, doctors working 2 months nonstop and very worn out. Their bodies are tired as a result so they can catch the virus from patients more easily. They are more vulnerable than normal people. Last advice to people in teens, 20s, 30s? - You may be fine, but if you spread to an elderly family member, it could be fatal. - Wear mask. Socially distance. You need to protect yourself so you can protect your family.

  14. "This is science. You have to be humble. The moment we become arrogant, we'll lose". Well said.

  15. Thank you for having me! Had a great time on the pod 🧡

  16. This channel is better than some news channels on the TV... Their content is so good and the questions asked are really pertinent and make people think about the subject. As a Portuguese student of social communication and journalism I will say that they do all the things that I'm being teached that a good journalist does! Keep this up. Such an awesome channel.
    2300
  17. This is better than BuzzFeed.

  18. Thank you so much for not only talking about Sewol-ferry but also talking about the part of Korean politics. Whenever asked, I’ve tried my best to explain the gap of politics view btw young generation & old generation AND the gap btw southeast n southwest but since I’m not good at explaining, it’s been always a struggle for me. Growing up with my father and grandma from Gyeongsang-province, who were more like brain-washed by Park-Jung-Hee, (they’re still calling Park-Geun-Hye princess) I still have hard time talking about politics and history with them. I just hope the gap will be narrowed little by little.

  19. This man actually isn't as scary as how he looks in movies.

  20. Thank you guys for great questions and ability to speak up to the global audience. We appreciate all the care you are showing Ukraine and Ukrainian people. ✊🇺🇦 For the context: I am English speaking Ukrainian in the red scarf. No, I am not American. I swear.

  21. People in China are acting a lot calmer than the rest of the world about what's happening. People tend to stay home most of the time, but their normal life quality can be guaranteed to the most extent under this kind of situation. There's no energy or food shortage, no mass panic, no significant rise of price on groceries. Every single Chinese national is facing this virus, this situation all together. All I see on internet is nothing but mistrust to our government and all kinds of conspiracy theories, or so-called "real truth". I don't understand why nowadays politics always has to come first. it's just very sad to see. I'm just a normal Chinese citizen myself. I'm not 100% for our government, but I have to say what has been done this time is absolutely prompt and effective. We are handling it the best we can, with everyone coming together. Many American friends of mine told me if a lockdown happens in the US, people will definitely riot. But you don't see any of that in China this time. It's NOT because the government is suppressing us, it's because we are standing together with each other and we have faith in getting through this, together! We do expect the number to go up more, don't know how much more. But that's not because people keep getting infected, but people infected have not been diagnosed yet. Feel free to believe those rumors or fake news which probably fit in better with your shallow stereotype to China. We are presenting you the fact and you choose to turn away, what else can I say? I have absolute faith in our people. It may take some time, but we will get through this.

  22. "If you look at it another way, these aren''t things you'd see celebrities doing, but those kinds of shady acts are things businessmen get away with. But it seems this blew up because he's a celebrity. Either way, he should be responsible". This is the most sensible answer I've seen.

  29. Impressive. They all seem very articulate and well informed on political issues. Big thumbs up to Asian Boss for bringing forth the perspective from a Central Asian nation. Looking forward to more such interesting contents covering different parts of Asia.
    2200
  30. I'm really stunned at how well-done this video is. Well worth the wait. Everyone interviewed is really well-spoken and well-informed, and the interviewer has good questions and is respectful. While I fully support the protesters, I'm glad you included people who were more supportive of the bill as well. It made for a more well-rounded view. Thanks, Asian Boss!

  31. I'm a foreigner living in China right now, what she says is very clear and accurate. I'm not in Wuhan but my city is also in a sort of lock down and I only go out to get groceries. I'm also confident that we'll get out of this! WUHAN 加油！

  32. You're the kind of person my parents don't need to know about😂😂😂 a fellow Indian here.

  33. THIS! What Asian Boss is doing is exemplary! This is the kind of journalism and media information that I yearn for. Its VERY educative, informative, professional, clean, and to-the-point about the topic being discussed. The best part of it all is that it strives to be objective and tries its best to not be too biased in a certain direction. THIS HERE is what the US media corps should aspire to be. As it stands, the US mainstream media is a bunch of hogwash, story-spinning, and partisan mudflinging. What you guys are doing here is (IMO) a closer form of "true journalism" and something that generations of people should tune into to find out more about certain aspects of Asia. I hope everyone in Asian Boss continues to see big success and I hope to see you one day reach into more mediums of media - magazines, prints, a little segment on tv, etc.

  34. Its people like this that make the world a better place

  37. Lucky's father is smiling right now high above. I love his wisdom on the longevity of fame. I hope his impact becomes a shining star, and not just a shooting star that comes and goes.

  38. SAM OKYERE!! I haven't seen him in such a while. I'm glad he spoke out on this. He really inspires me! 👏😊

  39. Unironically this could be the plot of a niche shoujo or shonen. But I'm glad to see her story. Thank you for covering this.
    2000
  40. Groundbreaking interview, this is why Asian boss is important
    2000
  41. Finally what the national news won't show. Good job Asian Boss
    2000
  42. This is a really good interviewer - she didn’t let interesting off hand comments just slip by, but gently pressed in on them. Good stuff
    2000
  43. That Bi-Lingual dialogue though!! always blows my mind how they switch between 2 languages mid sentence!

  44. I was aware of international child abduction being an issue in Japan, but didn't know that Korea has similar enforcement issues. I pray for John's success in his fight for justice and a speedy reunion with his children.

  45. wow, I never watched an interview fully. He kept us engaged with his story and wow! he is so open minded, that is what humans lack the most, to accept both right and wrong things about something. Be doesn't want to bring a bad name to S/N Korea, he is just telling the facts it's just the people who have a backward mindset think that whatever he says he is one sided. Really enjoyed this interview, like really really. Loved this interview thanks for sharing such amazing insights asain boss!n

  46. Shout out to the crew at Asian Boss for putting these incredible videos together. Always love to listen to both sides from over here in America. Especially since it is very difficult to get their perspectives from this side of the world.

  47. What an incredibly courageous woman. Thank you for giving her a platform to share her story.

  48. The guy who came back on is extremely intelligent! I was really surprised by his analysis that Kim Jong Un is trying to emulate Kim Il Sung. Glad to have him out in the free world where his insight can be an asset to society.
    1800
  49. I know this has nothing to do with the video, we raised over $700,000 for Asian Boss!!!

  50. It's crazy to think that they say it can't be affordable to many knowing 300 rupees is just around a few dollars in the west. Narrowing the window between the poor and the rich is as important as taking care of our climate.
