Just so I NEVER forget ..... April 5, 2020
Petrol price is down to RM1.30 per liter.
Our offices throughout Malaysia will remain closed throughout the MCO period and will continue to operate fully on a work-from-home.
All schools abruptly moved online.
Self-distancing measures on the rise.
Tape on the floors at stores to help distance customers (1 mtr) from each other.
Restaurants closed, take out only.
Limited number of people inside stores.
Non-essential stores and businesses mandated closed.
Entire sports seasons cancelled.
Concerts, tours, festivals, entertainment events - cancelled.
Weddings, family celebrations, holiday gatherings - cancelled
No masses, mosques & churches are closed.
No gatherings of 50 or more, then 20 or more, now 10 or less.
Children's outdoor play parks are closed.
Shortage of masks, gowns, gloves for our front-line workers.
Shortage of ventilators for the critically ill.
Panic buying sets in no disinfecting supplies, no laundry soap, no hand sanitizers.
Shelves are bare.
Manufacturers, distilleries and other businesses switch their lines to help make visors, masks, hand sanitizers and PPE.

Airline tickets are cheap but we can't travel.

Daily updates on new cases, recoveries, and deaths.
Barely anyone on the roads.
People wearing masks and gloves outside.
Essential service workers are terrified to go to work.
Medical field workers are afraid to go home to their families.
"Flatten the curve" is a daily saying, along with "We are in this together," and "We heal as one".
This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, declared March 18, 2020 in Malaysia with a restricted movement order to last till April 14. But as I write this, the WHOLE WORLD is also experiencing the same situation or worse. And all we can do is watch, pray and wait for the healing of our world!
Why, you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.
We have so much!
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind.
Copy and paste.
