Yup, I observe that more people seem to be staying home? My primary schooler & I passed by a new playground, & there was only a kid or two during playtime-peak-hour
On a separate note, there seems to be more normalcy for my teens. A random survey of schoolmates -> out of 20 boys (14-15 year olds), 16 are vaccinated (with 1st pfizer-dose), & 4 are un-vaccinated (out of these 4, 2 said it is due to health conditions). So, small scale after-school trainings (for events) could be conducted in-person. We don't really want to waste much more of our youth, hiding away -

Today on the street, I heard two uncles talking about economy reopening in August. Maybe it’s talk of the town now?

Will US and Europe experience a spike in cases in August/Sept? Delta variant hasn’t even reached Hong Kong yet. Don’t know whether I pessimistic or the world over optimistic. Don’t think can travel by year end.
Why on one hand OYK said we should treat Covid like a common flu and we would be reopening soon in August. But on the other hand, NTU tightened the Covid rules and a few thousand students were asked to vacate hostels within two weeks. Two weeks’ notice is just too short lah!
If really treat like normal flu, need to vacate hostels meh? 前后矛盾

Unnecessary complication. Overnight 5,500 petitions so no choice have to do a review lor.
TBH, only give 2 weeks’ notice and expect a few thousands students to find a room to rent (near NTU) is like mission impossible.
No empathy for the students’ plight. -

I think some admin instruction from last year was implemented, without thinking of the plight of the students (esp. internationals) and the change in the Covid situation now. Really egg on the face for NTU. Having a daughter studying overseas, I was shocked by NTU's earlier decision giving such short notice and no help to international students - so glad that they have done a rapid rethink!

Once the target of vaccination rate is reached (2/3 by N. Day?), they will probably allow some loosening up - it should be fairly safe by then, especially if they have managed to get a higher percentage of the elderly vaccinated by then. Anyway, isn't there talk of a slight loosening up in mid-July?

Businesses, workplaces, schools, social life... all have suffered a long time, and restrictions should loosen up as soon as practicable since we've decided that 0 cases is not possible. Personally, I think gradual loosening is good, but would like to see it happen at a more rapid pace. My workplace is now 100% vaccinated (everyone is over 40, and all have had both jabs), so I would like to see us back to hybrid work schedules at least. -

One should not be over optimistic.

Why ?
Because
you do not know what tomorrow may bring. We are living in un-precedented, turbulent, confusion, chaotic, not just pandemic, but \"endemic\" times !
=============================
After the Japan Olympic games end, after everyone return back home to their own country, possibly may bring back home the virus,
forsee that
perhaps, another covid \"explosion\" possibly can take place ... global disaster !
Why ?
Because
Japan will be the central place,
where so many nations gathering together, at the Olympics !
Right now,
our two closest neighbours to Singapore, are already so ... jialut ! Many of our neighbours are suffering.
One neighbour, inspite of lockdown, where many are suffering, the infected numbers keep rising!
Not only just infected numbers keep rising,
but death numbers too also rise,
with loved ones mourning as their coffin are lowered into the graveyard.
The picture here, speak a thousand words

To what extent, are they suffering, in this nation ?
There are people with No food to eat, thus hang out a white flag outside their house as a form of surrender,
to signal grave distress,
asking help for food
