RIP : Hand of God

 

Daily Dose: Hand of God

Time waits for no man, not even the Hand of God. 

Maradona, the football legend left the world at a tender age of 60. Regardless of wealth and fame, time still calls the shots. 

2020 had not been a great year for many. From jobs to family, the impact of Covid19 had been felt by many. On a personal note, we were unable to celebrate my Grandma's 90th birthday in person ( we did it by zoom, no less). Covid19 had taken many of the things we took for granted away from us. Family get-togethers, friends outings, the freedom to travel, jobs security. 2020 will be remembered as the pivotal year in the world's history.

It will be the year where we, as individuals will reassess what's important to us.

1) 7 Covid19 cases

7 imported

For the 15 days, we have zero community cases. Our call is by end of the week, there might be some announcement on easing. It will either be this week or the week when the trace together token is made widely available to the public.

Imported cases are from India, Indonesia and the Philippines.

5) Surge in HK Covid19 cases due to rules being eased too soon.

It's one thing to go gungho about moving forward. It is another thing if the risks taken are not calculated.

Current HK wave is linked to 21 dance clubs as well as measures easing before Covid19 is eradicated. Looks like the travel bubble to HK might not happen anytime soon.
