One of Us Could have been any one of us— that’s how I feel about the recent spike in COVID cases in Singapore. With clusters of infections happening here and there, we’ve gone into another pseudo-lockdown, with schools and offices closed, and parents and children once again having to work and study from home alongside each other. Dining-in is no longer allowed and a maximum of two persons is allowed in any group outside of home. I really hope these measures will make the numbers come down soon. It’s strange to see people in some parts of the world starting to remove their masks and relax restrictions while places like India and Nepal continue to be ravaged by the virus. The recent spikes in Singapore and Taiwan show how easily the virus can penetrate borders, even places with the most cautious safety measures. It’s clear that this pandemic is not over until it’s over for every country. The effort to achieve herd immunity cannot be declared a success until every community achieves it, from the richest to the poorest. We’re all in this together! I’m tired of the pandemic. I really am. It’s affecting my mental and physical health. But I’m taking each day as it comes, finding pleasure in the small things — a good meal, a nice cup of coffee, a baby grasshopper on my window pane, a hot shower, a kiss from my kids, a satisfying doodle, and hopefully a nice comment from one of you. ;) #pandemicfatigue #covidfatigue #singaporelife #singapore #pandemic #covid19 #covidindia #herdimmunity #mentalhealth #smallpleasures #新冠肺炎 #疫情下的生活 #murderscene #crimescene #csi #crimesceneinvestigation #chalkoutline #murder #murdermystery #crime (at Dark Alley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDhovoH5EQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
