I bet they will be needing another also eventually. Not too sure about SE Asia but I am guessing they are much better at obeying rules than us and a lockdown actually means a lockdown unlike what we have here now. No approach has really worked at all yet. Japan is a strange one. They managed to get off very lightly but no one seems to know why really.

I usually get some chest cold this time of year, and after being so careful not to contract covid, i have managed to pick up the traditional type of Coronavirus! Just goes to show how easily some viruses spread, or how I'm still doing something wrong.

We had one of our child’s results within 7 hours of a test- (fastest) and 36 hours was the longest time we’ve had to wait We’ve now been to the test centre 7 times since September- negative each time thankfully.

Contact tracing was a lot quicker then I expected, I got a text message while she was still on the phone and a call 2 minutes later (as did the rest of the fam, we were all on the phone at the same time and they all rang one after another!), just waiting for the confirmation of my test time now.

They should gradually allow industries reopen on a weekly basis so that there isn’t a huge uptick in December, both from people mixing more from cabin fever and from everyone wanting to avail of all the same services at the one time after being without them for so long - hairdressers and retail in particular will be extremely busy next month, and allowing them to open a little earlier will make it safer because there won’t be such a high demand. We surely learned from the first time round that keeping things closed while cases are low is a big mistake. If this trend continues for another week or so they should allow gyms & hairdressers reopen, then non essential retail, and then finally indoor restaurants. Otherwise cases will just explode in December again.

The nature of shopping where you only briefly are in close contact with other people is fundamentally different to what we've been told is the issue from day one; prolonged close contact. Bars and restaurants on the other hand unfortunately...
