A year in various levels of
movement restriction due to an inanimate particle with no life of its
own

"On the first day of the MCO,
A-shopping I did go ...."
Went at daybreak to avoid the crowd to stock up on supplies
|
Some rushed to the stores in too much haste . . .
|
Yes, the panic buying and hoarding got a bit ridiculous . . .
|
If you need that
much toilet paper for a two-week lockdown, you've got diarrhoea,
not COVID-19
|
|
Sanitize your hands frequently!

My friend Caroline's home cooking included this corona virus
inspired dish. Very creative. No, she did not contract Covid-19
after eating it
UPDATE JULY 2020:
Caroline and her hubby were directed by the health authorities
to home quarantine for 2 weeks after a person tested positive to
COVID-19 at her husband's building where he works
|
COVID-19 was a mystery at the start . . . can we get the virus
from eating exotic foods?
|
Some occupations were hit hard . . .
|
I made my own hand sanitizer
|
. . . . she tried
|
Some people had food home delivered . . . .
obviously, I did not
|
Easter came and went . . . .
|
April 2020 |
Even I had something to say . . . .
|
Seen in South
Australian national parks:
|
May 2020 |
|
Then at the end of May, the US saw the result of decades of
apparent differential treatment of Blacks by its police
departments in jurisdictions across the country: demonstrations
and rioting
|
MCO was lifted on 12 May and we went into Conditional Movement
Control Order |
The orange one |
|
El presidente made much news for mishandling the crisis in the
U.S. (those who think photons emit from his postern orifice
obviously think he did no wrong)
Here he is answering a question on how big his brain is . . . .
|
|
Here's a song from
unmasked characters from the Disney movie "Mary Poppins" (1964):
"Super
Nasty Cataclysmic COVID-19 Virus"

September 2020
When the orange one contracted COVID-19, these were not the only
people hoping . . . .
|
November 2020 |
The election outcome . . . .
. |
Na .... na na na .... na |
They hired trucks
with Trump's favourite word for his foes, to circulate
Washington, D.C. . . .
|
But, the loser would not concede . . .
|
Right idea; wrong
virus
|
How you wear your mask is an indication of how you wear your
underwear

Year's end |
|
.
. . . and then Christmas came with still no end of COVID in
sight
|
|
January 2021 |
|
. . . . and then it was another year . . . .
|
. . . and I had grown fat over the year . . . .
. . . . from
all that
cooking |
So I did some
exercise . . . |
|
All 12 other parts
of Malaysia (except Sarawak) were naughty and had to be
disciplined (locked down again in January 2021)
|
US politicians reflect those who vote them in . . . . the
ignorance continues after Trump . . .
Socrates' view of democracy is that it is only as effective as
the education system which surrounds it; that voting in an
election is a skill and not a random intuition. I have sympathy
for the view that both politicians and voters have to have
demonstrate some threshold amount of educational qualification
before they can be allowed to participate in a democracy. |

We are not amused . . . .
Her grandson and his wife aired dirty linen in public
|
In other linen news . . . .
In our pre-occupation with COVID-19, concern about global
warming was not in our forethoughts . . .
|
Meanwhile . .
. . looks like trouble for this supper at a kopitiam . . .
RM10,000 fine for not keeping social distance
|
May 2021 |
I had contact with a person who
later proved positive for COVID-19. Thus, I went for a swab test
which returned:
|
|
June 2021 |
On 07 June I finally received an
appointment to go for vaccination (AstraZeneca opt-in choice)
The second dose should be in
around 12 weeks' time.. |
Done! |
In the mean time, due to various
reasons, I had more COVID tests:
|
|
This is going to be one outcome:
|
September 2021
Meanwhile in
Charlotte, North Carolina, a truck seemingly from a funeral home
was emblazoned with a message which should generate more clients
for its business. It was the work of the local ad agency
BooneOakley. Clever.

November 2021
Oral antigen test
kits have become readily available and relatively cheap (RM10
per test):
I stocked up on these at home. |
