Oura was pleased with everything but Activity, oh well. Spent most of the day working (as one might be able to tell how late this dispatch is coming out). Achieved another perfect month with the Apple Watch. Woohoo. All meals were consumed at home today, not getting takeout (I think I’ll try this tomorrow too).
Today marks a whole month of not seeing an airport, not sitting in an airplane, or staying at a hotel. This hasn’t happened to me maybe since 2004. This is a very weird feeling. I have also not gone anywhere for 14 days, enjoying the confines of my home. It would be a lie if I said I didn’t miss being on the road.
I didn’t pay attention to the 5pm press conference since I did a workout with Aiman Ox. To play along in the next 14 days, follow Ping and/or Flyproject.
We’re at 43 deaths (1.55% of total cases), we’ve also had heaps get discharged. Seems if you come to Malaysia after April 3, you get to a 14-day quarantine centre automatically. This is going to want to make Malaysians return, eh? Better wait for the MCO to be over… apparently compliance for stay-at-home notices are around 75%, which means we only have fellow Malaysians to thank for crazier times. Incidentally, they claim Ramadan bazaars can start post-MCO; of course with effective social distancing… and for a bit of comedy, ‘Talk like Doraemon’: Malaysian ministry issues tips for wives during COVID-19 movement control order.
It was not long ago we had a Minister talk about drinking water. And now this gaffe. They’re probably going after who could win an Ig Noble Prize or something. But if they’re all this dumb, how did they manage a coup to take over government?
I’m beginning to think that the WHO are not as competent as we think; maybe more politicians than we expect, instead of being public health officials. They’ve played down this thing quite a bit, didn’t heed Taiwan’s advice about human to human transmissions, and still say masks aren’t required but frontliners need it more. I am beginning to think masks make sense for when we go out post-MCO (or even if you go out now). I’m not even saying medical masks… reusable, fashionable ones.
Anyway, maybe a hint of Ozark and then bed. It is late. Tomorrow was supposed to be the return to normal life, but we begin Phase 2 of the MCO…
