Journey through Covid-19

27 December 2020 Covid-19 Commentaries Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic grips the world since the start of this year. It continues to rage on in most countries especially during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere. It is not letting up. There are now 80.6 million infected persons globally with 1.7 million deaths. (Worldometer, 27 December 2020) One thing I note most is that the virus affects anyone regardless of status in life. The rich, the powerful, the world leaders, the arrogant persons, and known personalities have been infected just like the ordinary citizens and the poor. It is blind to your station in life.

The more people take risks by not wearing face masks and not to social distance themselves, the more the spread of this dreaded virus. Everyone is critical in this fight to eradicate the virus.

Singapore is fortunate in the battle. The community transmission of Covid-19 has been low or zero while other countries are seeing a surge. With Phase 3 of reopening starting tomorrow (28 December), gatherings of up to 8 persons will be allowed. This is a reward for us doing our parts. We should appreciate each one of us in order to come to this stage.

It was painful emotionally and very inconvenient for everyone.

I hope 2021 will be better.
