Hello, I blog!

I’m angry.

We’re in a fucking pandemic, but people don’t seem to be taking it seriously.

I just saw several videos on social media from friends who have attended weddings this weekend. The attendees – all in an air-conditioned enclosed space – none of them (or only one or two) were wearing masks even though they were not eating or drinking.

People in offices who refuse to mask up because “it is uncomfortable”. Bitch, I have freaking asthma and I am still wearing a mask. What’s your bloody excuse? Besides, I have to wear a mask for the rest of my life. You only have to do this temporarily during a pandemic. Stop fucking whining.

And temperature screening is not even taken seriously in Singapore. Scan your palm? What the heck? What’s the scientific basis to that?

I registered 34.6 degrees at a café in Paragon Mall.

Wow, I am walking around with hypothermia, guys. I was practically dead at that point in time.

Temperature screening, not.

Either do it properly, or not at all.

And people gathering in groups of more than 8, then boasting about it on social media as if it’s some badge of honour. Oh look, I’m flouting the rules. Aren’t I cool. No, asshole. It’s irresponsible people like you that are raising the community case counts in Singapore.

People still going to work and mingling with others after developing symptoms like fever and loss of taste/smell – and spawning 2 new workplace-based clusters. Slowclap. After 1 year of this shit, you would have thought that people would have developed some common sense. Nooooope.

In most recent news, with Chinese New Year around the corner, the government is limiting the number of visitors per household per day to 8. And each person is not allowed to visit more than 2 other households in a given day. But how is this rule even regulated? The onus is on the people to be responsible, thinking adults.

But I don’t trust people to be responsible and self-regulate, seriously. They will find every single possible loophole and exploit it.

“They can’t patrol every single house and catch us anyway.”

This is the third pandemic – selfish ignorance. (The second is the pandemic of fake news and disinformation. As for the first, I doubt Covid-19 needs introduction anymore.)

I’m honestly very thankful that both sides of my extended family are heeding these new regulations.

I sound like I’m on my moral high horse here and being absolutely judgy. I’m just really incredulous at this blatant show of selfishness when we have a pandemic ripping through mankind and people are dying by the millions.
