88 Ain't Big Enough---It's 163 Apparently

I didn't want to write any more, but this is getting ridiculous. We are now looking at 163 cases today for COVID-19 as well. It's almost as though SIN city were playing mahjong with the pandemic, and we just lost the hand, and we have to pay up because the pandemic has a 花 tile.

What makes things worse is that the ``new'' fishery port cluster is actually related to the KTV lounge cluster. Considering the high mobility of the persons that visit the fishery ports (generally controlled places specific only for merchants as far as I know), this is bad news indeed.

Would tomorrow's numbers jump even higher? Will there be a new and tough lockdown coming on tomorrow?

I don't know. I'm borderline past caring about how things are going already. The root cause is what it has always been---people not following the control measures properly. That's it. It doesn't matter if people are vaccinated or not---even when vaccination wasn't part of the big picture in SIN city, we could sort of tame things down with careful social distancing, masking up, and not taking unnecessary risks.

Year's fucked up. 'nuff said.
