Hokkaido declares new state of emergency amid 'second wave' of coronavirus infections
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/04/13/national/hokkaido-declares-new-state-emergency-amid-second-wave-coronavirus-infections/This serves as a reminder that no one city or country including Australia Capital Territory (ACT) and some other states should celebrate prematurely after lockdown is lifted.
Many weeks ago, a Singaporean friend who is a PR in Australia wrote about Singapore's success in curbing the spread of the virus. Singapore had only 100 cases then.
I commented that it was too early to call, and it was not the time to pop the Champagne cork. Singaporeans were over confident, and later became too complacent, and unfortunately, the government overlooked or neglected the imported workers who lived in very high density dormitory.
A recent research from China shows that some people exhibited slight symptoms, and tested three times giving negative result, finally proved to be positive victims. It seems the virus could go much further in the lung and incubate.
The recovered patients may not be completely cleared of the virus, because they remain and incubate within the organs.
Many people are likely to be over saturated with all the bad news, and may do silly things after the lockdown.
Please keep in mind that there are still a lot of people stranded overseas in countries with much higher cases. They can be potential spreaders and just hope that they do not kick start the second wave.
Thank you for reading.
