    The course is well-designed and much better than the similar course in Coursera.
    I just want to see the comparison of different measures in different countries in Week 2, especially a review of the effective measure of South Korea.
    To be honest, many things are still unknown for this virus. All the best we can do is wearing masks outside, washing hands frequently etc...
    But overall, the course gives a good balance between videos and articles and give us practical knowledge.
    And full of reference materials too. Anyone thinks that the course is short can dig through the reference!!
    The community is engaging and full of discussion.

    This question are useful and give me the certificates the many more useful in my life.In fact, I'm starting to believe that “Thank You” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation and it is a better response than most of the things we say. Let's cover 7 common situations when we say all sorts of things, but should say “Thank You” instead.
