reader Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 "I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel." That's the quote that registered with me right away and stayed with me. On my best days, I think that the situation will gradually stabilize and we'll soon return to life as it was before the virus. On my worst days, I feel that I'm witnessing the end of the world in slow motion. Even in the countries where much progress has been made, there are signs that that progress may only be a temporary phase. The video may be about the Klang Valley in Malaysia but it truth I think it's still possible that it could happen anywhere. There are simply too many unknowns. We need to see the world without nationalities, without borders, without prejudice. We all live in Klang Valley.

PeterRS Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Although not in Malaysia, my brother's granddaughter in the UK was found to be positive 3 weeks ago and hospitalised for several days. She is 11 years old. No other member of the family tested positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
