Covid-19 Fatigue

I have stopped looking at numbers - number of infections, number of deaths resulting from Covid-19 coronavirus. I am numb to these numbers. Since Chinese New Year, more than 5 months have passed. I am just tired at no end in sight from Covid-19 pandemic.

For the record, the statistics are: Global total confirmed cases: 6,973,243 Total deaths: 402,047 (Source: Worldometer dated 7 June 9.45 am)

Singapore total confirmed cases: 37,527 Total deaths: 25 Singapore ranks 29 on the list of countries impacted.

The world had nearly 7 million people infected and 400,000 deaths from Covid-19.

Singapore number is climbing each day by an average of 450 a day. Community cases 1,729 Dormitory resident cases 35,218

The world is not going to view Singapore that Singapore has been able to keep the community cases to a low at 1,729. It would look at the final figure of 37,527 cases and this is alarming for a small nation of 5.7 million people when compared with bigger countries.

Numbers aside, human tragedies are not to be trivialised. Every infection and every death resulting from Covid-19 coronavirus is heartbreaking for the living related to the person. If one were not infected, the inconveniences of the restrictions of social distancing measures appear to be a pain. Let’s spare a thought and keep up with the restrictions so that all can remain safe.

I protect you and you protect me.
