I always suspect a second wave of Coronavirus attack would occur. My greatest fear of a big surge is when air travel resume ferrying inbound travellers from countries like US, UK, Sweden, Italy, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, etc. There are many infection hotspots around the world, but the number of travellers arriving from these places are not in large numbers.

So far the number of school children being infected is still very small, but that may not necessary mean that a surge may not take place. The recent cases that prompted the Premier to reimpose stricter rule dropping the number of visitors from 10 to 5 is a clear indication his and experts concern of a worse outbreak.

Most young people think that they are tough and invincible. They don’t believe they will die from the infection because statistics tells them so. However, they forget that if they become infected and display no symptom, does not mean that they can’t do a great deal of damage to the people they are in contact with, including their friends, spouses, parents, colleagues, and unknown people.

Please do take care and observe social distancing.
