Humanity...

can be dim witted. Singapore was a ghost town last night not because of any government lockdown but because some kiasu people went to supermarket to buy weeks of toilet rolls. My favorite Ah Beng, Chan Chun Seng, said Singaporeans lak-sei (embarassing). I pity this minister who had to go live to report the months of supplies that the government had stockpiled because of the recent Malaysia lockdown. So when everyone is scrambling, it's a great opportunity to go anywhere but supermarkets which will be packed.

Last October there was a strain making it rounds. When I had it, I thought that many of the older folks or people who are vulnerable would be able to survive this flu. When WHO finally detected and declared existence of Corona Virus or rebranded as Covid19, I thought it was rather silly that people started reacting to it when this bugger has been around for some time. It's easier to blame bat shit than to really understand the origin of this disease. I've been to Wuhan. The market has literally been around for decades. Chinese people do eat some scary shit and they have been doing it for thousands of years. Logic would dictate it's quite unlikely that the market is the source of the virus. SARS, COVID, crazy weather, firestorm...correlated? Some bright scientist should look into that. Diseases that are locked in ice, forest or deep in the earth are being released by humans. With economics, monies and livelihood clouding the lense of judgement, it's easire to point to batman shitting on our health rather than seeing the big picture. Andrew Yang by Gage Skidmore.jpg Last year I stumbled upon this crazy Asian guy called Andrew Yang. He was running for the US Presidency. I knew he had no chance because of his skin color. As I read his stuff, this guy turned out to be a genius. He said that Trump won because he identified all the ails of America but he blamed it on trade and immigrants, hence the trade war and the wall. Andrew Yang said that most times people use scapegoat because it's easier than facing reality. If he comes to Singapore, he better sign my copy of his book. I am just going to live my life. Eat no meat as I am a vegetarian, take public transport and donate to charities when I have spare monies. Oh I love pool. Just picked it up recently eventhough I super suck at it.
