He quoted Marie Curie in his caption that: “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less” while stating that "to manage our fear we need to engage, explain & manage the expectations. We need to understand more on COVID-19 to allay our fear."

Meanwhile, his previous post quoted a report by South China Morning Post, titled "University of Hong Kong study finds eyes are ‘important route’ for coronavirus, up to 100 times more infectious than Sars", which disclosed that eyes could be one of the ways of infecting COVID-19.
His caption goes:
"Every day we learn a new thing about this awful novel coronavirus. Face shields may soon be the new norm attire for all of us."
